Vitality score
Vitality score 16.8/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).
Better served than 66 % of the 11,635 communes of a similar size.
Compare this with communes of a similar size. The score measures how well a place is served relative to its own size band, and larger communes score higher as a rule — so it reads meaningfully against another village, and misleadingly against a town.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 58 days a year at or above 30 °C and 3 days at or below 0 °C, over 15 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the EVISA-VILLAGE weather station, 9.4 km away at 856 m; the village itself is at 114 m. [10]
The village sits 742 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 4.13 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 23 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at MARIGNANA, 13.3 km away at 515 m, over 16 summers. [10]
That station sits 401 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 851 mm of rain a year, spread over 72 days — about 11.8 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at OTA-PORTO, 4.2 km away at 28 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
