Safety.

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

Violent thefts without a weapon00.0 per 1,000–
Armed robberies00.0 per 1,000–

Domestic physical violence00.0 per 1,000–
Vehicle thefts00.0 per 1,000–
Thefts from vehicles00.0 per 1,000–

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.

Floods and mudflows2
Storms and cyclones1

A natural-disaster declaration (arrêté CatNat) lets insurers pay out for the damage. The count reflects past events, not a forecast of future risk. The list of hazards comes from each département’s major-risk file; a prevention plan in force limits building in exposed zones.
