It really depends on where you go, I personally never felt in danger, even alone in the dark because i take ways I know well. But there are some places that are more dangerous or at least scarier at night like the city center where there is a lot of drug dealing.
Posted: August 21, 2025Nantes is not a very safe city. I recommend you to avoid some places in Nantes during the night. For example in the center of the town the place named "commerce" could be dangerous or the neighborhood near the train station.

En journée, la ville est sûre. Il faut faire attention à ses affaires dans les transports. La nuit ou le soir, la sécurité est problématique un peu partout et particulièrement dans le centre. Il est fortement déconseillé de se promener seul ou en ayant bu, pour un homme comme pour une femme. During the day, the city is safe. You have to be careful with your belongings in transport. At night or in the evening, security is problematic almost everywhere and particularly in the center. It is strongly discouraged to walk alone or while having drunk, for a man as well as for a woman.

A bit dangerous for the woman. A lot of drug trafic. Don’t walk alone on the street at night. Take care of your drink in clubs and bars. But if you have the good reflexs you Will enjoy the city and is history
