From my personal experience, Nîmes feels quite safe. Walking around the city, even in the evenings, didn't raise any concerns. Police were often visible, especially around the main attractions and during events, which added to the sense of security. Overall, as long as you stay aware of your surroundings, you should have no problems exploring and enjoying what Nîmes has to offer.
