Is Nantes Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Nantes

The city is safe. I would just recommend not to walk at night alone in the city center (only Commerce ou Hangar à Banane). Except that, Nantes is safer than is often said, especially during the day.

Nantes is a lovely city that is definitely worth a visit. Public transportation is quite safe, but it is true that there are certain areas of the city to avoid after dark if you are alone (commerce, ile de Nantes, etc).

Nantes is à moderate safe city. There are known place where to no go at dark however the rest is moderately safe. And there are cameras in public transports. Personally I try to avoid dark places and being completely alone late at night.

Nantes is not really safe now (it was 10 years ago) but it changed a lot, during the day it is ok but at night it is not safe, very common to be assaulted if you are alone (and even in a group of people). And mostly on the « ile de nantes » where there are a lot of clubs and bars.

It’s a great country but as every big country we must stay aware of ours purses, etc. Some big area like « commerce » can be stressfull because it can be a local place for drug saler and we can be surprise of being interrupt. However there’s a lot of cops in this place to mind the peace of the citizen. The streets are clean, we can find homeless people but there are very polite and kind. The bus or tram are safe, there is not a lot of pickpocket than in Paris for exemple.

It’s not the worst city but some places are a little bit dodgy, some people are too. It use to be safer, but I felt way more scared in a lot of other cities. It’s just best not to spend too much time alone at night I guess. The public transportation is fine during the day and the bus are alright at night too, it’s more the tramways in general that feel less safer. I’m also fairly anxious in general so that doesn’t help I guess

Couple travel

Nantes was absolutely safe but there’s nothing to do as activity but about food they have the best butter i have ever tested

Solo travel

Safety is not what Nantes gives as I heard but I never felt in danger. In the other hand Nate’s is very popular for the art and cultural event. Nantes had also an airport that makes your travel life easier.
