Vitality score
Vitality score 21.7/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 34 % of the 17,897 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.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 6 days a year at or above 30 °C and 49 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the MARCONNELLE weather station, 4.1 km away at 25 m; the village itself is at 105 m. [11]
The village sits 80 m above 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 1,002 mm of rain a year, spread over 139 days — about 7.2 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at MARCONNELLE, 4.1 km away at 25 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
