Measured at the USINENS SA weather station, 11.6 km away at 452 m; the village itself is at 611 m. ^[11]

The village sits 159 m above 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. ^[11]

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

Humidity measured at USINENS SA, 11.6 km away at 452 m, over 20 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 159 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 1,207 mm of rain a year, spread over 125 days — about 9.7 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at CERCIER, 9.8 km away at 492 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

What property sold for

32 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 489,750 € — 3,877 € per m² of built surface. ^[12]

11 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 300,000 € — 3,822 € per m². ^[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.
