Vitality score
Vitality score 57.6/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: low (sources disagree on Butcher (boucherie); sources disagree on Restaurant).
Better served than 68 % of the 3,635 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 168 days a year at or above 30 °C and 0 days at or below 0 °C, over 13 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the MARIGOT-BELLEVU_CTM weather station, 3.7 km away at 142 m; the village itself is at 7 m. [9]
The village sits 135 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 7.86 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 92 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at BASSEPOINTE-CHAL, 5 km away at 45 m, over 15 summers. [9]
An average of 2,262 mm of rain a year, spread over 211 days — about 10.7 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at LORRAIN VALLON, 0.8 km away at 83 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
