Vitality score
Vitality score 48.7/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: low (sources disagree on Butcher (boucherie); sources disagree on Restaurant).
Better served than 19 % of the 2,372 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 131 days a year at or above 30 °C and 0 days at or below 0 °C, over 15 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the ST-ESPRIT BALD_CTM weather station, 4.1 km away at 258 m; the village itself is at 20 m. [10]
The village sits 238 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. [10]
Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 92 days a summer. [10]
Humidity measured at LAMENTIN-AERO, 7.4 km away at 3 m, over 30 summers. [10]
An average of 2,118 mm of rain a year, spread over 220 days — about 9.6 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at ST-ESPRIT GEND, 0.4 km away at 21 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
