Vitality score
Vitality score 58.3/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 71 % of the 3,351 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 1 day a year at or above 30 °C and 0 days at or below 0 °C, over 30 complete years in 1995–2024. [9]
Measured at the COLIMACONS weather station, 2.9 km away at 798 m; the village itself is at 729 m. [9]
The village sits 69 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 61 days a summer. [9]
Humidity measured at COLIMACONS, 2.9 km away at 798 m, over 12 summers. [9]
That station sits 69 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 1,063 mm of rain a year, spread over 89 days — about 11.9 mm on a day it rains. [9]
Rainfall measured at COLIMACONS, 2.9 km away at 798 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [9]
