Vitality score
Vitality score 95/100 — Well served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 99 % of the 230 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 165 days a year at or above 30 °C and 0 days at or below 0 °C, over 28 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the LIGNE-PARADIS - CIRAD weather station, 3.1 km away at 178 m; the village itself is at 12 m. [9]
The village sits 166 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 6.9 °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 85 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at LIGNE-PARADIS - CIRAD, 3.1 km away at 178 m, over 19 summers. [9]
That station sits 166 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 4.22 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. [9]
An average of 976 mm of rain a year, spread over 76 days — about 12.8 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at LIGNE-PARADIS - CIRAD, 3.1 km away at 178 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
