Speed cameras, 1052 cities shown. The coloured surface is a local average over 34,858 communes, 98.8% of the country's population, weighted by the population of each one. Every commune with a published value counts, not only the towns in the table. 50 ranked overseas cities are not plotted: they fall outside this map's frame. Projection: longitude compressed by cos(46.3°N), so east-west and north-south distances stay comparable. Source: Sécurité routière.

    Scope, method and sources

    Scope: France, metropolitan and overseas, Corsica and the DROM included. This dataset holds every commune of 10,000 inhabitants or more, plus smaller communes famous enough to be household names, 1,131 in all. It is not the full list of 35,000 French communes, so a village can sit outside a ranking whose extreme it would otherwise hold.

    Method and sources: populations are the INSEE legal populations, boundaries and coordinates come from the IGN commune registry, both served by geo.api.gouv.fr. Density is the population divided by the commune's area; distances are measured as the crow flies from the commune's centre. Data read on August 28, 2026.

    What are the top 10?
    In order: Paris (1.4 / 100,000 inhab.), Saint-Denis (93) (1.9 / 100,000 inhab.), Montreuil (1.9 / 100,000 inhab.), Aubervilliers (1.9 / 100,000 inhab.), Aulnay-sous-Bois (1.9 / 100,000 inhab.), Noisy-le-Grand (1.9 / 100,000 inhab.), Drancy (1.9 / 100,000 inhab.), Le Blanc-Mesnil (1.9 / 100,000 inhab.), Pantin (1.9 / 100,000 inhab.), Bobigny (1.9 / 100,000 inhab.).
    Is this figure really about the city?
    No: it is measured for the whole département, and every commune of that département carries the same figure. It is ranked this way because speed cameras is not published commune by commune, and a per-commune count would be almost entirely zeros. Read each row as "this town's département", not "this town".

    The table below ranks the top 50 of the 1,102 cities in the dataset, each with its département, its region and the figure it is ranked on (speed cameras), so you can see not just the order but how far apart the places are. The numbers are official public data: INSEE legal populations and the IGN commune registry, with the exact method and the exact scope stated under the table rather than left to be guessed at.

    The same data answers neighbouring questions too: see The French cities with the most private swimming pools and The French cities with the fewest private swimming pools, or all rankings for the full list. All of it comes from Le Bon Rang, a free daily game that gives you five French cities and one of these statistics and asks you for the order.
