Vitality score

Vitality score 45.3/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).

Better served than 60 % of the 10,359 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

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 12 days a year at or above 30 °C and 42 days at or below 0 °C, over 21 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]

Measured at the PLESSIS-BELLEVILLE weather station, 11.2 km away at 116 m; the village itself is at 103 m. [10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [10]

Humidity measured at PLESSIS-BELLEVILLE, 11.2 km away at 116 m, over 22 summers. [10]

An average of 773 mm of rain a year, spread over 125 days — about 6.2 mm on a day it rains. [10]

Rainfall measured at PLAILLY, 0.4 km away at 108 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

…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 Plailly'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.
