Safety.

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

Burglaries of homes97.3 per 1,000+29%
Thefts from people without violence72.7 per 1,000−22%
Violent thefts without a weapon00.0 per 1,000–
Armed robberies00.0 per 1,000–
Domestic physical violence62.3 per 1,000−33%
Thefts from vehicles103.9 per 1,000−17%
Deliberate damage and vandalism207.8 per 1,000+33%
Fraud and payment card fraud207.8 per 1,000+11%

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.
