Vitality score
Vitality score 25.2/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 81 % of the 15,466 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.

Access and surroundings
Which way the everyday services lie
Bakery (Le Pompidou): 0.2 km to the east (straight line). [8]
Food shop (Barre-des-Cévennes): 5.3 km to the north (straight line). [9]
GP (Saint-André-de-Valborgne): 6.6 km to the south-east (straight line). [10]
Pharmacy (Val-d'Aigoual): 12.8 km to the south (straight line). [11]
Primary school (Saint-André-de-Valborgne): 4.8 km to the south-east (straight line). [10]
Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 8 days a year at or above 30 °C and 52 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the BASSURELS weather station, 1.8 km away at 1,042 m; the village itself is at 779 m. [12]
The village sits 263 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]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at BASSURELS, 1.8 km away at 1,042 m, over 19 summers. [12]
That station sits 263 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [12]
An average of 1,480 mm of rain a year, spread over 103 days — about 14.4 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at BASSURELS, 1.8 km away at 1,042 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
What property sold for
21 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 128,000 € — 1,418 € per m² of built surface. [13]
The median across Lozère is 1,319 € per m², so this commune sits about level with 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.

…and in much the same climate
The same match on size and services, narrowed to communes whose summers, winters and summer humidity are all close to Le Pompidou's. All three are required, so this section is absent for the 11.8 % of communes with no humidity station near enough to measure: two temperature axes alone cannot tell a muggy coast from a dry one.
