Vitality score

Vitality score 35.3/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 71 % of the 17,482 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.

Access and surroundings

Which way the everyday services lie

In the commune Bakery, Primary school Food shop — 7.2 km NGP — 7.2 km NPharmacy — 7.6 km W Straight-line, from the mairie, in the direction given. Services in the same town share a spoke. Distance is not travel time: a pass or an estuary can double it.

Bakery (Poisson): 0 km to the west (straight line). ^[8]

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Days at or above 30 °C 25.3

Days at or below 0 °C 60.3

Muggy days a summer 0.8

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 25 days a year at or above 30 °C and 60 days at or below 0 °C, over 23 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the PARAY weather station, 7.3 km away at 267 m; the village itself is at 300 m. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 1 day a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at ST YAN, 9 km away at 242 m, over 30 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 58 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 879 mm of rain a year, spread over 125 days — about 7 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at PARAY, 7.3 km away at 267 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

Uncertainties

No specific uncertainties flagged.

Villages like this one

Matched on size, density, second homes and which everyday shops and services are present — not on the score, so a village of the same kind that is doing better or worse shows up rather than being hidden.

…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 Poisson'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.
