Confidence: high.
Better served than 80 % of the 10,519 communes of a similar size.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 8 days a year at or above 30 °C and 66 days at or below 0 °C, over 12 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the BAGNERES SERRES weather station, 8.6 km away at 548 m; the village itself is at 869 m. [11]
The village sits 321 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.7 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [11]
An average of 1,354 mm of rain a year, spread over 144 days — about 9.4 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at BAGNERES SERRES, 8.6 km away at 548 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
17 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 180,000 € — 1,756 € per m² of built surface. [12]
The median across Hautes-Pyrénées is 1,521 € per m², so this commune sits above it. [12]
These are recorded sale prices, not valuations or asking prices, and a median over five years spans five different markets. Built surface excludes land, which carries much of a rural property's value.
