Safety.

Offences recorded in 2025, with the rate per 1,000 residents and the change from 2024.

Indicator2025RateChange
Burglaries of homes143.6 per 1,000−26%
Thefts from people without violence6113.6 per 1,000−3%
Physical violence outside the family61.3 per 1,000−33%
Domestic physical violence143.1 per 1,000+100%
Vehicle thefts235.1 per 1,000+130%
Deliberate damage and vandalism5712.7 per 1,000+30%
Fraud and payment card fraud265.8 per 1,000+4%

These figures count offences recorded by the police and gendarmerie, not how safe a place feels, and not every offence is reported. Rates are per 1,000 residents (per 1,000 homes for burglaries): where many people visit but few live, as in town centres and shopping areas, they are naturally higher. Small counts are not published.
