France is a leading global tourism destination, attracting millions of visitors annually. While it may appeal to some Peruvians, only a portion of the 600,000 Peruvians who travel abroad each year are likely to choose France as their destination.
France is generally considered safe for tourists, including those from Peru. In terms of safety rankings, France is 40th among 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night, but it has a better overall safety ranking compared to Peru. According to the Global Peace Index, France ranks 84th out of 160 countries, while Peru is ranked 97th. When looking at murder rates, France has a significantly lower rate at 1.1 per 100,000 people compared to Peru's 5.7. Additionally, female murder rates are also lower in France (0.7) than in Peru (2.1). In terms of organized crime, both countries have similar scores, but France generally shows a stronger performance in state crime (3.0) compared to Peru (7.0). Overall, while no destination is without risk, France is relatively safer than Peru based on various crime statistics and indices.
