An average of 898 mm of rain a year, spread over 128 days — about 7 mm on a day it rains. ^[9]

Rainfall measured at EUVILLE, 9.5 km away at 240 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[9]

What property sold for

15 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 66,500 € — 556 € per m² of built surface. ^[10]

The median across Meuse is 893 € per m², so this commune sits below it. ^[10]

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.
