Safety.

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

Indicator2025RateChange
Burglaries of homes2812.6 per 1,000−22%
Thefts from people without violence142.6 per 1,000−30%
Armed robberies00.0 per 1,000–
Physical violence outside the family61.1 per 1,000−67%
Domestic physical violence203.7 per 1,000+11%
Deliberate damage and vandalism162.9 per 1,000−33%
Fraud and payment card fraud499.0 per 1,000+58%

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.
