Vitality score

Vitality score 18.3/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 12 % of the 16,584 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

Days at or above 30 °C 34.8

Days at or below 0 °C 45.5

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 35 days a year at or above 30 °C and 46 days at or below 0 °C, over 25 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Measured at the LES LEVES THOUM weather station, 5.2 km away at 80 m; the village itself is at 17 m. ^[12]

The village sits 63 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 4.94 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[12]

An average of 819 mm of rain a year, spread over 118 days — about 6.9 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at LES LEVES THOUM, 5.2 km away at 80 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]
