Vitality score
Vitality score 4.9/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 2 % of the 10,844 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.
Measured but not scored in this model: Market. See the methodology for why.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 68 days a year at or above 30 °C and 35 days at or below 0 °C, over 21 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the MOULES-ET-BAUCELS weather station, 12.2 km away at 252 m; the village itself is at 199 m. [12]
The village sits 53 m below 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 1,412 mm of rain a year, spread over 88 days — about 16 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at ST MAURICE-NAVACELLE, 9.7 km away at 584 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
What property sold for
15 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 108,000 € — 1,366 € per m² of built surface. [13]
The median across Hérault is 2,750 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [13]
These are recorded sale prices, not valuations or asking prices, and a median over five years spans five different markets. Built surface excludes land, which carries much of a rural property's value.
