Confidence: high.
Better served than 25 % of the 15,200 communes of a similar size.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 1 day a year at or above 30 °C and 15 days at or below 0 °C, over 10 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the MONTGARDON weather station, 4.4 km away at 80 m; the village itself is at 30 m. [9]
The village sits 50 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.71 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [9]
An average of 1,031 mm of rain a year, spread over 147 days — about 7 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at ST SYMPHORIEN, 1.6 km away at 30 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
