Vitality score
Vitality score 38.8/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 51 % of the 12,950 communes of a similar size.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 38 days a year at or above 30 °C and 52 days at or below 0 °C, over 21 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the VILLEMATIER weather station, 10.2 km away at 115 m; the village itself is at 189 m. [12]
The village sits 74 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.7 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [12]
An average of 724 mm of rain a year, spread over 103 days — about 7 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at VILLARIES, 6.1 km away at 135 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
