the safest cities in France

Where can we walk, day or night, whether we are a man or a woman, and whatever our state, in complete peace of mind? This is one of the questions that we tried to answer The Parisian. The daily relied on various data to establish its investigation. He drew up “exclusively” the ranking of the safest cities with more than 50,000 inhabitants in France metropolitan

To establish its prize list, the newspaper indicates that it was based in particular on around ten criteria, and took as its source the delinquency figures recorded by the Ministry of the Interior. He then grouped the offenses — assault and battery, violent theft without a weapon or theft from vehicles — into four categories: the rate of assault, accounting for 35% of the final score obtained by the city, theft (25% ), burglaries and nuisances (20%), these including, for example, drug trafficking or deliberate destruction and damage (20%).

What are the safest cities in France?

At the head of the ranking is Cherbourg-en-Cotentin. Despite the fact that it is located near the sea, the Normandy town does not make waves. It ends up with an overall score of 16.34 out of 20. Just after it are several cities in western Paris, including Boulogne Billancourt, which is 2nd in the ranking. In the top 10, we find cities like Courbevoie (4th), Versailles (5th), Antony (6th), Clamart (7th) and Levallois-Perret (8th). Ajaccio, in Corsica-du-Sud, which finds itself in third position.

Annecy, the town of Haute-Savoie, is in 14th place, while the very chic Neuilly-sur-Seine is in 17th place and the maritime town Cagnes-sur-Mer, in the Alpes-Martimes, placed in 10th.

Which cities have the highest crime rate?

The cities where the delinquency rate is the highest are often very large cities, where the wealth gap between residents is often greater and where there are disparities depending on the region. Paris is notably among the lowest ranked cities, in 103rd place. The City of Lights notably has a record number of unarmed robberies.

It is closely followed by Marseille, in 116th place in the ranking, where a large number of vehicle thefts are recorded. The northern city of Lille is in 119th place in the ranking. Cities like Aix-en-Provence or Arles are, for their part, penalized by the high homicide rate in their department, Bouches-du-Rhône, and therefore only have a mediocre place.
