Population development

The parish shares the fate of many rural parishes in France. The population grew in the first half of the 19th century. This was followed by a rural exodus that greatly reduced the number of residents (1831–1990: −83.1 percent). The population has been growing again since 1990 (1990–2016: +69.2 percent).
