Vitality score

Vitality score 12.2/100 — No daily shops (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 33 % of the 13,583 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.

Measured but not scored in this model: Market. See the methodology for why.

Climate

Where this sits nationally

Each track runs from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the 34,141 communes with that measurement; the tick is the median. A value beyond either end sits at the end and is marked ▸.

An average of 73 days a year at or above 30 °C and 47 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]

Measured at the MONTFORT-SUR-ARGENS_SAPC weather station, 8.7 km away at 141 m; the village itself is at 179 m. [11]

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

Humidity measured at ST MAXIMIN LA STE BAUME, 14.7 km away at 294 m, over 19 summers. [11]

That station sits 115 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.57 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [11]

An average of 779 mm of rain a year, spread over 65 days — about 12 mm on a day it rains. [11]

Rainfall measured at BARJOLS, 6.6 km away at 267 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
