If Lille often shines on the podium of top cities when it comes to festivities, hospitality, or gastronomy, it still has its shadowy side. It's with a heavy heart that we learn that for the second consecutive year, it has been named the most dangerous city in France, ahead of Marseille and Saint-Denis. Yes.

This week, Valeurs Actuelles has released its famous ranking of the safest and most dangerous cities in France. The latest Valeurs Actuelles ranking of the safest and most dangerous cities in France has just come out. The study, based on data from the Ministerial Statistical Service of Internal Security (SSMSI), ranks 119 municipalities with more than 50,000 inhabitants. A score out of 20 is assigned to each city based on the number of attempted homicides, intentional assaults, burglaries, and sexual violence. At the top of the ranking, we find the unchanged trio from last year: Lille, Saint-Denis, and Marseille, followed by p.rès by Bordeaux, a new contender in 4th place after snatching the spot from Paris, which is now relegated to 7th place. Grenoble, recently named the most pleasant city to live in the world, ranks 6th among the most dangerous cities in France... 

Not worried!
