Vitality score
Vitality score 55.9/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 95 % of the 15,551 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.

Population 673 (1990) → 813 (2023): 20.8 % over 30 years. [8,1]

Access and surroundings
Which way the everyday services lie
Bakery (Rasteau): 0.1 km to the east (straight line). [10]
Food shop (Roaix): 3 km to the north-east (straight line). [11]
GP (Rasteau): 0.8 km to the south-west (straight line). [10]
Pharmacy (Sablet): 4.9 km to the south (straight line). [12]
Primary school (Rasteau): 0.1 km to the south (straight line). [10]
Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 42 days a year at or above 30 °C and 46 days at or below 0 °C, over 11 complete years in 1995–2024. [13]
Measured at the SEGURET weather station, 2.9 km away at 140 m; the village itself is at 237 m. [13]
The village sits 97 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. [13]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. [13]
Humidity measured at PUYMERAS, 13.3 km away at 392 m, over 18 summers. [13]
That station sits 155 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.57 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [13]
An average of 777 mm of rain a year, spread over 70 days — about 11.1 mm on a day it rains. [13]
Rainfall measured at SEGURET, 2.9 km away at 140 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [13]
What property sold for
54 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 290,146 € — 2,400 € per m² of built surface. [14]
The median across Vaucluse is 2,599 € per m², so this commune sits about level with it. [14]
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.

…and in much the same climate
The same match on size and services, narrowed to communes whose summers, winters and summer humidity are all close to Rasteau's. All three are required, so this section is absent for the 11.8 % of communes with no humidity station near enough to measure: two temperature axes alone cannot tell a muggy coast from a dry one.
