How TownRatings grades French towns →
The Culture ministry lists 2 historic monuments in Jasseron, none of them classé, France’s highest protection.
The oldest protected part dates from the 10th century; the first monument here was protected in 1927.
Data highlights are ordered by what stands out in Jasseron.
Police and gendarmerie recorded 64 offenses in the graded categories in Jasseron in 2025. Of the graded crimes in Jasseron, theft from vehicles came up most often (2025). For family violence, other physical violence, sexual violence, armed robbery and vehicle theft, this figure isn’t published when it’s small (five or fewer in at least one of the last three years); the index uses the département’s average instead, 14.8% of the index here. Because that share is over 10%, this Safety Grade is less sure than most.
Not in the gradeTheft without violence, drug use and fraud are shown for information but left out of the Safety Grade, which counts violence plus burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and criminal damage per resident.
