Safety.

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

Indicator2025RateChange
Burglaries of homes156.0 per 1,000−6%
Thefts from people without violence81.3 per 1,000−60%
Armed robberies00.0 per 1,000–
Domestic physical violence81.3 per 1,000−64%
Thefts of vehicle parts71.2 per 1,000–
Deliberate damage and vandalism355.8 per 1,000+13%
Fraud and payment card fraud488.0 per 1,000+23%

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.
