Better served than 73 % of the 16,263 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

An average of 23 days a year at or above 30 °C and 65 days at or below 0 °C, over 27 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the CERNON weather station, 5.9 km away at 500 m; the village itself is at 310 m. ^[10]

The village sits 190 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.55 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at ST JULIEN - SA, 15.6 km away at 361 m, over 29 summers. ^[10]

That station sits 51 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[10]

An average of 1,563 mm of rain a year, spread over 141 days — about 11.1 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at CERNON, 5.9 km away at 500 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]
