Safety.
Offences recorded in 2025, with the rate per 1,000 residents and the change from 2024.
| Indicator | 2025 | Rate | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Violent thefts without a weapon | 0 | 0.0 per 1,000 | – |
| Armed robberies | 0 | 0.0 per 1,000 | – |
| Vehicle thefts | 0 | 0.0 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.
