Vitality score

Vitality score 41.1/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 69 % of the 14,952 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 41 days a year at or above 30 °C and 54 days at or below 0 °C, over 17 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the MEOUNES LES MONTRIEUX_SAPC weather station, 10.5 km away at 309 m; the village itself is at 413 m. ^[10]

The village sits 104 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.21 °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 4 days a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at LE CASTELLET-AERO, 15.4 km away at 417 m, over 30 summers. ^[10]

An average of 1,012 mm of rain a year, spread over 69 days — about 14.7 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at LA ROQUEBRUSSANNE, 5.5 km away at 352 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]

What property sold for

74 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 248,500 € — 2,044 € per m² of built surface. ^[11]

The median across Var is 3,286 € per m², so this commune sits below 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.
