Vitality score

Vitality score 50.1/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 91 % of the 16,249 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

An average of 51 days a year at or above 30 °C and 57 days at or below 0 °C, over 12 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[11]

Measured at the BARGEMON weather station, 2.3 km away at 372 m; the village itself is at 395 m. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at SEILLANS, 5.4 km away at 278 m, over 25 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 117 m below 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 938 mm of rain a year, spread over 68 days — about 13.8 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at CALLAS, 2.2 km away at 308 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

What property sold for

96 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 225,000 € — 1,956 € per m² of built surface. ^[12]

32 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 88,884 € — 1,245 € per m². ^[12]

The median across Var is 3,286 € 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.
