Vitality score

Confidence: high.

Better served than 8 % of the 16,792 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.

Climate

An average of 20 days a year at or above 30 °C and 70 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the CHABLIS_SAPC weather station, 5.9 km away at 141 m; the village itself is at 243 m. ^[10]

The village sits 102 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 5.55 °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 0 days a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at CHABLIS_SAPC, 5.9 km away at 141 m, over 13 summers. ^[10]

That station sits 102 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.06 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[10]

An average of 821 mm of rain a year, spread over 128 days — about 6.4 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at ST CYR LES COLONS, 3.9 km away at 280 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]

What property sold for

16 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 61,000 € — 878 € per m² of built surface. ^[11]

The median across Yonne is 1,180 € 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.
