Vitality score
Vitality score 19.6/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 58 % of the 16,179 communes of a similar size.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 6 days a year at or above 30 °C and 34 days at or below 0 °C, over 27 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the FRESNAYE-AU-SAUVAGE_SAPC weather station, 12.3 km away at 229 m; the village itself is at 171 m. [11]
The village sits 58 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.71 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [11]
An average of 818 mm of rain a year, spread over 132 days — about 6.2 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at BAZOCHES-AU-HOULME, 5.9 km away at 193 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
