Safety.

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

Indicator2025RateChange
Burglaries of homes3111.9 per 1,000+55%
Thefts from people without violence245.8 per 1,000−27%
Domestic physical violence71.7 per 1,000−59%

Deliberate damage and vandalism163.9 per 1,000−27%
Fraud and payment card fraud266.3 per 1,000+24%

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.
