translate English to French: There have already been some studies of this village, because its development has been so different from that of the neighbouring villages, and because its climate and situation are such, that it should have belonged to those that have been hardest hit.
Ce village a déjà fait l'objet de plusieurs études parce que son développement a été très différent de celui des villages voisins et parce que son climat et sa situation semblaient le destiner à compter parmi les plus durement atteints.
