Climate

Measured at the PUYLAURENS weather station, 7.4 km away at 312 m; the village itself is at 200 m. ^[11]

The village sits 112 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]

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

Humidity measured at DOURGNE, 11.6 km away at 234 m, over 16 summers. ^[11]

An average of 778 mm of rain a year, spread over 107 days — about 7.3 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at PUYLAURENS, 7.4 km away at 312 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

What property sold for

21 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 218,350 € — 1,056 € per m² of built surface. ^[12]

The median across Tarn is 1,319 € per m², so this commune sits below 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.
