This quartier's southern edge is the boulevard de Rochechouart, directly facing the well-documented Barbès–Rochechouart problem zone (mostly technically in the 18th): a 2026 police 'quartier témoin' crackdown on illegal cigarette and counterfeit street-vending reported 1,000 fines and a 20,000-carton seizure in three months, with shopkeepers saying the trade persists. We could not find a dated incident specifically inside the 9th-side boundary, so this is flagged on proximity rather than a confirmed local pattern; the north end also touches Pigalle's nightlife strip, which adds normal after-dark crowd/pickpocket caution. Sources checked: Le Monde du Tabac, on the Barbès 'quartier témoin' crackdown, reporting ~June 2026.

Search accommodation here on Booking.com →
Booking.com has no search area for this neighbourhood, so this link searches the district it sits in — narrower than the whole city, wider than this neighbourhood alone.
This rating comes from a structured local-source assessment. This specific area was reviewed against credible local sources — local and national news, municipal and police-published material, and official surveys where they exist — and the signals were consolidated across sources rather than taken from any single report, with the reasoning and the sources shown above. Paris publishes no comparable neighbourhood-level crime dataset; where a city does publish one, Wandroz uses it instead of an assessment. Where a review finds nothing documented, that is recorded as no findings rather than as a safety rating.

Not an official government crime feed — Rochechouart (9e 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).
