Vitality score
Vitality score 34.3/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).
Better served than 84 % of the 17,979 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 41 days a year at or above 30 °C and 9 days at or below 0 °C, over 10 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the ST PAUL FENOUIL weather station, 11.7 km away at 205 m; the village itself is at 128 m. [10]
The village sits 77 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. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 10 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at ST PAUL FENOUIL, 11.7 km away at 205 m, over 10 summers. [10]
That station sits 77 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [10]
An average of 596 mm of rain a year, spread over 66 days — about 9 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at LATOUR-DE-FRANCE, 2.7 km away at 110 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]

…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 Montner'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.
