Vitality score
Vitality score 3.9/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 0 % of the 16,695 communes of a similar size.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 20 days a year at or above 30 °C and 86 days at or below 0 °C, over 19 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the LAROCHEMILLAY weather station, 3.4 km away at 375 m; the village itself is at 418 m. [11]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at AVREE, 9.7 km away at 302 m, over 15 summers. [11]
That station sits 116 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]
An average of 1,434 mm of rain a year, spread over 149 days — about 9.6 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at LAROCHEMILLAY, 3.4 km away at 375 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]

…and in much the same climate
The same match on size and services, narrowed to communes whose summers, winters and summer humidity are all close to Larochemillay's. All three are required, so this section is absent for the 11.8 % of communes with no humidity station near enough to measure: two temperature axes alone cannot tell a muggy coast from a dry one.
