Vitality score

Vitality score 55/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).

Better served than 62 % of the 4,709 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 11 days a year at or above 30 °C and 34 days at or below 0 °C, over 18 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the ANGRIE weather station, 7.8 km away at 65 m; the village itself is at 83 m. [10]

An average of 741 mm of rain a year, spread over 119 days — about 6.2 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at CHAMPTOCE, 7.6 km away at 61 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
