Vitality score
Vitality score 8.9/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 20 % of the 9,350 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 21 days a year at or above 30 °C and 26 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the LUZ SAINT SAUVEUR weather station, 3.6 km away at 910 m; the village itself is at 676 m. [12]
The village sits 234 m below 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. [12]
An average of 1,185 mm of rain a year, spread over 131 days — about 9 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at LUZ SAINT SAUVEUR, 3.6 km away at 910 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
What property sold for
6 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 207,365 € — 1,763 € per m² of built surface. [13]
The median across Hautes-Pyrénées is 1,521 € per m², so this commune sits above it. [13]
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.
