Is Annecy Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Annecy

Annecy and the area are one of the safest places in France I will say. I have lived here since I was 10 years old, did my studies, had a little student apartment and did a lot of activities here and it never happened something malicious or dangerous. Of course you have to be careful, like everywhere, but really is a peaceful city and environment. Majority of the people here are old, sporty, tourist or come form Swiss. So it a rich city (kinda expensive, equivalent to Paris), not to worry about your stuff being stolen. I will recommend you to go visit Annecy when the summer so you can enjoy the lake and mountains better. Do not hesitate to chat with me if you plan to visit there or other cities in France !

Annecy is quite safe, but one should still make smart choices and not take unnecessary risks. Don't leave your drink or bag unattended, beware of pickpockets like in any crowded area, don't leave valuables in your car, don't draw attention to yourself by wearing lots of jewelry and such.

Annecy is a calm city and it feels fairly safe. The old city center is lively but safe, except for some homeless people that could be drunk or on drugs. In general avoid talking to drunk people. Avoid some neighbourhoods alone at night like Cran-Gevrier.

Never felt safer than in my home town. There is no neighborhood dangerous i know and people don’t try anything generally (even though anything can happen anywhere). The only place where you could feel uncomfortable (but not in danger) would be the train station by night because people (sometimes drunk or drugged) hang around, but nothing dangerous.
