Vitality score
Vitality score 25.7/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 57 % of the 18,037 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 33 days at or below 0 °C, over 24 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the MONTELS weather station, 11.9 km away at 255 m; the village itself is at 169 m. [11]
The village sits 86 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.7 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [11]
An average of 756 mm of rain a year, spread over 106 days — about 7.1 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at CORDES, 1.5 km away at 174 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
Uncertainties
The market day comes from the commune's own website and has not been confirmed by a second source. [5]
