Confidence: high.

Better served than 2 % of the 16,846 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

An average of 27 days a year at or above 30 °C and 43 days at or below 0 °C, over 21 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Measured at the VERTEUIL weather station, 8.5 km away at 81 m; the village itself is at 186 m. ^[12]

The village sits 105 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 4.94 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 4 days a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at SAINTE-LIVRADE-SUR-LOT, 10 km away at 49 m, over 21 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 137 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.46 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]

An average of 686 mm of rain a year, spread over 111 days — about 6.2 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at MONCLAR, 4.2 km away at 169 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]

What property sold for

14 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 168,845 € — 761 € per m² of built surface. ^[13]

The median across Lot-et-Garonne is 1,182 € per m², so this commune sits below it. ^[13]

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.
