Vitality score

Vitality score 19.3/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 32 % of the 18,033 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.

Days at or below 0 °C 65.1

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 10 days a year at or above 30 °C and 65 days at or below 0 °C, over 23 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the LONGNY-AU-PERCHE weather station, 13.5 km away at 170 m; the village itself is at 175 m. ^[10]

An average of 825 mm of rain a year, spread over 130 days — about 6.3 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at REMALARD, 9.9 km away at 173 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]
