The increasing mechanization of agriculture led to a decline in the number of inhabitants to the lows in the interwar period. Apart from the period between 1982 and 1990, the number of residents has been growing steadily since 1921. The reason for this is the proximity to the city of Troyes with its numerous jobs.
