Vitality score

Vitality score 13.8/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 28 % of the 16,761 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

Days at or above 30 °C 18

Days at or below 0 °C 39.1

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 18 days a year at or above 30 °C and 39 days at or below 0 °C, over 22 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the ACCOUS weather station, 3.4 km away at 495 m; the village itself is at 435 m. ^[11]

The village sits 60 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. ^[11]

An average of 1,744 mm of rain a year, spread over 154 days — about 11.3 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at ACCOUS, 3.4 km away at 495 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]
