Vitality score
Vitality score 17.6/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 37 % of the 17,748 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 3 days a year at or above 30 °C and 36 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the LE-TOUQUET weather station, 16.2 km away at 5 m; the village itself is at 57 m. [11]
The village sits 52 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]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. [11]
Humidity measured at LE-TOUQUET, 16.2 km away at 5 m, over 30 summers. [11]
That station sits 52 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]
An average of 910 mm of rain a year, spread over 137 days — about 6.6 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at RANG-DU-FLIERS, 6.7 km away at 16 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 Lépine'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.
