Vitality score

Confidence: high.

Better served than 92 % of the 14,871 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 28 days a year at or above 30 °C and 67 days at or below 0 °C, over 21 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the VINCELLES weather station, 0.7 km away at 111 m; the village itself is at 108 m. ^[10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 2 days a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at AUXERRE, 12.7 km away at 207 m, over 18 summers. ^[10]

That station sits 99 m above 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 747 mm of rain a year, spread over 123 days — about 6.1 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at VINCELLES, 0.7 km away at 111 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]

What property sold for

68 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 118,550 € — 1,295 € per m² of built surface. ^[11]

8 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 41,250 € — 749 € per m². ^[11]

The median across Yonne is 1,180 € per m², so this commune sits about level with 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.
