How Safe is France?

Paris is considered one of the safest cities in Europe, but there are pickpockets roaming the streets in certain areas of the city as well as on trains and near popular tourist attractions.
The French countryside is very safe.
The small towns and villages are almost crime free, but the French roads can be dangerous. Over sixty thousand people have died in car crashes on French roads over the last ten years. Alcohol is the number one cause of those fatalities.
