Vitality score
Vitality score 51.2/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 90 % of the 15,439 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 23 days a year at or above 30 °C and 67 days at or below 0 °C, over 19 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the ST-GERMAIN-DU-B weather station, 12.2 km away at 200 m; the village itself is at 209 m. [11]
An average of 1,124 mm of rain a year, spread over 130 days — about 8.6 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at SAVIGNY-EN-REV, 6.6 km away at 199 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
54 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 178,000 € — 1,368 € per m² of built surface. [12]
The median across Saône-et-Loire is 1,210 € per m², so this commune sits above it. [12]
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.
