Vitality score
Vitality score 90.6/100 — Well served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 95 % of the 401 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
An average of 14 days a year at or above 30 °C and 13 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the BIARRITZ-PAYS-BASQUE weather station, 5.5 km away at 71 m; the village itself is at 3 m. [9]
The village sits 68 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 4.94 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 19 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at BIARRITZ-PAYS-BASQUE, 5.5 km away at 71 m, over 30 summers. [9]
That station sits 68 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.46 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [9]
An average of 1,468 mm of rain a year, spread over 140 days — about 10.5 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at BIARRITZ-PAYS-BASQUE, 5.5 km away at 71 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
