Clermont Ferrand is a very student-oriented city, so it's generally safe at night and completely during the day. There are lots of bars and places for young people to go out; the streets in the center are rarely empty. Just be careful when going to certain neighborhoods, especially at night, but that's the same everywhere.

I never go there at night and I would strongly advise you to avoid it if you can. But overall it’s not a dangerous city it just has some sketchy spots as all the...

Depending on the places and on the time of the day. The center of the city is really safe. But numerous neighborhoods are unsafe, you might get stopped in the street by men asking you for your contacts, making comments on your physical appearance, your clothes... There is also a lot of drug deal

I feel safe in the city, well there are one or two neighborhoods to avoid (like Croix de Neyrat et St Jaques) but otherwise i feel safe walking in the streets and taking the public transports :) I do be cautious when walking alone in the night just in case but nothing never happened!
