Vitality score 10.2/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 33 % of the 7,944 communes of a similar size.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 21 days a year at or above 30 °C and 52 days at or below 0 °C, over 19 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the TROIS-FONTAINES weather station, 13.8 km away at 204 m; the village itself is at 139 m. [9]
The village sits 65 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.89 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [9]
An average of 949 mm of rain a year, spread over 136 days — about 7 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at CHARMONT, 5.5 km away at 183 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
