Vitality score
Vitality score 45.4/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Grocery (épicerie / supérette)).
Better served than 27 % of the 5,214 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 0 days a year at or above 30 °C and 0 days at or below 0 °C, over 15 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the MORNE-ROUGE CHAMDST weather station, 2.3 km away at 474 m; the village itself is at 453 m. [9]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 92 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at MORNE-ROUGE-CHAMP, 3.3 km away at 350 m, over 15 summers. [9]
That station sits 103 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.92 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [9]
An average of 3,838 mm of rain a year, spread over 272 days — about 14.1 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at MORNE-ROUGE CHAMDST, 2.3 km away at 474 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
