Vitality score
Vitality score 32.8/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 62 % of the 17,116 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 11 days a year at or above 30 °C and 47 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the DUN_SAPC weather station, 16.1 km away at 598 m; the village itself is at 459 m. [12]
The village sits 139 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.55 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [12]
An average of 1,448 mm of rain a year, spread over 156 days — about 9.3 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at GIEN SUR CURE, 8.9 km away at 638 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
What property sold for
74 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 90,000 € — 923 € per m² of built surface. [13]
The median across Nièvre is 893 € per m², so this commune sits about level with it. [13]
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.
