The same December 2024 prefectural closure order (see Porte-Saint-Denis) extends into this quartier, covering boulevard Saint-Denis, rue du Faubourg-Saint-Martin and rue de la Fidélité — the latter also has a longstanding, separately documented history as a street-prostitution area near Gare de l'Est. Together this points to genuine, officially-acknowledged nighttime disorder along these boulevards rather than a daytime problem; by day the area is a busy, ordinary commercial strip.

Frequently asked questions
Is Porte-Saint-Martin (10e arr.) safe?
Wandroz currently rates Porte-Saint-Martin (10e arr.) in Paris as roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in Paris, both by day and after dark. This comes from a structured local-source assessment: an area-level review of credible local sources — local and national news, municipal and police-published material, and official surveys where they exist — consolidated across sources rather than taken from a single report. Paris publishes no comparable neighbourhood-level crime dataset; where a city does, Wandroz uses it instead.
Is Porte-Saint-Martin (10e arr.) safe at night?
At night, Porte-Saint-Martin (10e arr.) is rated as roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in Paris. If you're unsure, it's worth checking recent local reviews for your specific street or block, since a neighbourhood-wide rating can't capture block-by-block variation.
Is Porte-Saint-Martin (10e arr.) a good area to stay in as a tourist?
Porte-Saint-Martin (10e arr.)'s day rating (roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in Paris) is the more relevant one for typical daytime tourist activity; check the night rating too if you'll be out late. Note that the Booking.com link on this page searches 10th arr., not Porte-Saint-Martin (10e arr.) specifically: Booking does not list this neighbourhood as a destination of its own, so check each property's address against the map above.
Is there official crime data for Porte-Saint-Martin (10e arr.)?
Not an official government crime feed — Porte-Saint-Martin (10e arr.)'s rating comes from Wandroz's own current local/national press and survey research for this specific area instead (see the note on this page for what was checked and the sources used). An absence of recent negative coverage is treated as inconclusive, not as proof the area is safe.
