Vitality score
Vitality score 8.8/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 10 % of the 14,517 communes of a similar size.

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. [10]
Measured at the MONTELS weather station, 11.3 km away at 255 m; the village itself is at 169 m. [10]
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. [10]
An average of 756 mm of rain a year, spread over 106 days — about 7.1 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at CORDES, 3.5 km away at 174 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
