Better served than 15 % of the 15,873 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 at the BOURBONNE-LES-BAINS weather station, 7.1 km away at 326 m; the village itself is at 406 m. ^[11]

The village sits 80 m above 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. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at IS-EN-BASSIGNY, 15.8 km away at 403 m, over 30 summers. ^[11]

An average of 938 mm of rain a year, spread over 135 days — about 6.9 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at TERRE-NATALE, 6.2 km away at 370 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

What property sold for

21 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 42,000 € — 400 € per m² of built surface. ^[12]

The median across Haute-Marne is 833 € per m², so this commune sits below it. ^[12]

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.
