Vitality score
Vitality score 67.6/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 99 % of the 15,250 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 43 days a year at or above 30 °C and 49 days at or below 0 °C, over 22 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the ST GERY weather station, 17.6 km away at 137 m; the village itself is at 299 m. [12]
The village sits 162 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.7 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [12]
An average of 877 mm of rain a year, spread over 119 days — about 7.4 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at LIMOGNE, 0.3 km away at 303 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
