Vitality score
Vitality score 34.3/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 80 % of the 18,041 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 39 days a year at or above 30 °C and 44 days at or below 0 °C, over 10 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the SIMARD weather station, 7.4 km away at 211 m; the village itself is at 201 m. [12]
An average of 914 mm of rain a year, spread over 122 days — about 7.5 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at LESSARD, 4.5 km away at 210 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
What property sold for
29 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 135,000 € — 880 € per m² of built surface. [13]
The median across Saône-et-Loire is 1,210 € per m², so this commune sits below 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.
