Safety
Crime per resident in Argentré runs lower than in 95% of compared French towns
Police and gendarmerie recorded 32 offenses in the graded categories in Argentré in 2025. Of the graded crimes in Argentré, family violence came up most often (2025). For sexual violence, vehicle theft and theft from vehicles, 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, 19.3% of the index here. Because that share is over 10%, this Safety Grade is less sure than most.
