In 2010, the village's climate was oceanic, as a study from the CNRS based on data covering the 1971-2000 periode. In 2020, Météo-France published a typologie of the climates of the continental France in which the commune is exposed to a altered oceanic climate and is in the climatic region of Middle Loire valley, caracterised by a good sun exposition (1850 h/year) and a summer with few of rain.
Rumors has it that the village is named this way because king Henry IV of France stayed the night.
