Vitality score

Vitality score 30.8/100 — Few services (model fr-v0.2).

Confidence: high.

Better served than 97 % of the 11,611 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 35 days a year at or above 30 °C and 56 days at or below 0 °C, over 11 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[12]

Measured at the SEGURET weather station, 6.9 km away at 140 m; the village itself is at 393 m. ^[12]

The village sits 253 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. ^[12]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. ^[12]

Humidity measured at CARPENTRAS, 9.4 km away at 98 m, over 30 summers. ^[12]

That station sits 295 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.57 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[12]

An average of 864 mm of rain a year, spread over 72 days — about 12 mm on a day it rains. ^[12]

Rainfall measured at SUZETTE, 1.2 km away at 454 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[12]

What property sold for

10 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 635,000 € — 3,168 € per m² of built surface. ^[13]

The median across Vaucluse is 2,599 € per m², so this commune sits above it. ^[13]

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.
