Vitality score
Vitality score 48.9/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).
Better served than 35 % of the 4,070 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
An average of 10 days a year at or above 30 °C and 75 days at or below 0 °C, over 13 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the TRESSANGE weather station, 7.1 km away at 358 m; the village itself is at 250 m. [9]
The village sits 108 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 1,035 mm of rain a year, spread over 142 days — about 7.3 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at BASSOMPIERRE, 6.9 km away at 337 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
