Vitality score

Vitality score 19/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 71 % of the 13,248 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

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 52 days a year at or above 30 °C and 42 days at or below 0 °C, over 22 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the ST GERY weather station, 15.6 km away at 137 m; the village itself is at 165 m. [10]

An average of 883 mm of rain a year, spread over 120 days — about 7.4 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at CAJARC, 6 km away at 174 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

What property sold for

13 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 114,000 € — 1,229 € per m² of built surface. [11]

The median across Lot is 1,246 € per m², so this commune sits about level with it. [11]

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.
