I’ve been to France many times & have felt both safe and unsafe there. The tourist areas will often have sketchy sections. Particularly some parts of Paris late at night are exactly where you don’t want to be (Was chased by a group seemingly looking to rob me). Outside of the tourist areas, everyone is much nicer to tourists and overall these places feel much more safe. Probably because there’s no massive influx of clueless tourists to rob. The criminals are put out of business in these places.
