As a refugee, you would want to claim asylum in a country that you could feel safe in, rather than a country that is 'safe'.
For instance, refugees that don't speak French or who have any understanding of French culture may not feel safe there as they would be cut off from interacting with others.

Incorrect. The UN Refugee Convention does not make this requirement of refugees, and UK case law supports this interpretation. Refugees can legitimately make a claim for asylum in the UK after passing through other “safe” countries.
