Confidence: high.

Better served than 61 % of the 17,588 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

An average of 43 days a year at or above 30 °C and 40 days at or below 0 °C, over 22 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the CAYLUS weather station, 7.4 km away at 274 m; the village itself is at 149 m. ^[10]

The village sits 125 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]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 5 days a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at CAYLUS, 7.4 km away at 274 m, over 23 summers. ^[10]

That station sits 125 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.26 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[10]

An average of 809 mm of rain a year, spread over 113 days — about 7.2 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at PUYLAROQUE, 4.8 km away at 257 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]

What property sold for

15 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 206,550 € — 1,370 € per m² of built surface. ^[11]

The median across Tarn-et-Garonne is 1,429 € per m², so this commune sits about level with it. ^[11]

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.
