It's in France, and while Paris is as bad as London for bike thefts, in smaller towns like this it's proportionately less of a problem. I met one of the guys who works for the parking management company here last year, he told me that since they'd installed the cameras a year or so earlier, they'd only had one reported theft attempt, a guy tried to pinch a wheel, and they identified him and recovered the wheel.
But the racks are crap, yes.
