My recommendation would be to make sure you hang on to bags. We were told there was a very low to almost non existent crime rate when we went about 10 years ago but I had my handbag stolen. I had only put it down for a few seconds while I re balanced the tray i was carrying and when I went to pick it up again it had gone! Of course the crime (or lack of) may only reflect on the residents not the visitors, some of whom fund their travelling around europe with their ill gotten gains. I was in Paris last year, we were only in the hotel 2 nights and at least 3 handbags were stolen. Now I make sure that any bags I carry are strapped to me so that I can let go and know they won't disappear. I carry a rucksack to contain any purchases but my passport, money etc is split between a small bag that is strapped around me and a body belt.
I remember the lace being extremely expensive. I expect their will be others who have been more recently who can tell you the best places but there is plenty to see lace wise and non lace.
