Vitality score

Vitality score 52.1/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 93 % of the 16,638 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

Days at or above 30 °C 47.6▸

Days at or below 0 °C 57.5

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 48 days a year at or above 30 °C and 58 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the ST-M-D'HERES-GALOCHERE weather station, 3.9 km away at 220 m; the village itself is at 280 m. ^[11]

The village sits 60 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 6.06 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[11]

An average of 973 mm of rain a year, spread over 107 days — about 9.1 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at ST-M-D'HERES-GALOCHERE, 3.9 km away at 220 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]
