Vitality score
Vitality score 56.8/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Restaurant).
Better served than 95 % of the 15,036 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
An average of 15 days a year at or above 30 °C and 67 days at or below 0 °C, over 20 complete years in 1995–2024. [12]
Measured at the ST LEONARD NOBL weather station, 12.2 km away at 346 m; the village itself is at 428 m. [12]
The village sits 82 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 4.94 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [12]
An average of 1,310 mm of rain a year, spread over 148 days — about 8.9 mm on a day it rains. [12]
Rainfall measured at SAUVIAT SUR VIG, 1.3 km away at 473 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [12]
