Vitality score
Vitality score 35.2/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 66 % of the 16,763 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 23 days a year at or above 30 °C and 67 days at or below 0 °C, over 19 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the ST-GERMAIN-DU-B weather station, 10.3 km away at 200 m; the village itself is at 205 m. [10]
An average of 909 mm of rain a year, spread over 120 days — about 7.6 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at PIERRE DE BRESSE, 4.5 km away at 208 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
69 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 147,500 € — 944 € per m² of built surface. [11]
The median across Saône-et-Loire is 1,210 € per m², so this commune sits below it. [11]
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.
