Vitality score
Vitality score 15.8/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 69 % of the 9,243 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.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 52 days a year at or above 30 °C and 42 days at or below 0 °C, over 22 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the ST GERY weather station, 9.8 km away at 137 m; the village itself is at 161 m. [11]
An average of 877 mm of rain a year, spread over 119 days — about 7.4 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at LIMOGNE, 8.8 km away at 303 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
14 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 196,500 € — 1,424 € per m² of built surface. [12]
The median across Lot is 1,246 € per m², so this commune sits above it. [12]
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.
