Vitality score
Vitality score 29.9/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 56 % of the 17,545 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.

Which way the everyday services lie
Bakery (Domessin): 3.8 km to the south (straight line). [9]
Food shop (Avressieux): 1 km to the south (straight line). [10]
GP (Le Pont-de-Beauvoisin): 3.9 km to the south (straight line). [11]
Pharmacy (Le Pont-de-Beauvoisin): 4.1 km to the south-west (straight line). [11]
Primary school (Avressieux): 0.1 km to the north-east (straight line). [10]
Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 34 days a year at or above 30 °C and 70 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the NOVALAISE weather station, 7 km away at 460 m; the village itself is at 301 m. [12]
The village sits 159 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 6.06 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [12]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 3 days a summer. [12]
Humidity measured at LAC AIGUEBELETTE, 7.9 km away at 375 m, over 17 summers. [12]
That station sits 74 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [12]
An average of 1,423 mm of rain a year, spread over 131 days — about 10.9 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at NOVALAISE, 7 km away at 460 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
What property sold for
27 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 214,000 € — 1,757 € per m² of built surface. [13]
The median across Savoie is 2,827 € 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.

…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 Avressieux'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.
