Vitality score

Vitality score 58.3/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 86 % of the 7,469 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.

Where this sits nationally

An average of 19 days a year at or above 30 °C and 56 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the CHEVERNY weather station, 1.6 km away at 99 m; the village itself is at 87 m. [10]

An average of 699 mm of rain a year, spread over 112 days — about 6.2 mm on a day it rains. [10]
