The increasing mechanization of agriculture led to a continuous decline in the number of inhabitants to the lows in the interwar period. After the Second World War, the population grew until 1982 because of the proximity to the city of Troyes and the job opportunities there. A population decline between 1982 and 1999 was followed by another growth phase that is still ongoing.
