Vitality score
Vitality score 43.8/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 19 % of the 4,580 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 29 days a year at or above 30 °C and 58 days at or below 0 °C, over 18 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the COURTENAY weather station, 17.5 km away at 315 m; the village itself is at 227 m. [9]
The village sits 88 m below 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. [9]
An average of 911 mm of rain a year, spread over 110 days — about 8.3 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at PONT-DE-CHERUY, 3.1 km away at 202 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
