Vitality score
Vitality score 10.7/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 31 % of the 10,519 communes of a similar size.

Where this sits nationally
An average of 15 days a year at or above 30 °C and 48 days at or below 0 °C, over 29 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the LATRONQUIERE weather station, 5.2 km away at 658 m; the village itself is at 575 m. [12]
The village sits 83 m below 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 1,364 mm of rain a year, spread over 139 days — about 9.8 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at LATRONQUIERE, 5.2 km away at 658 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
