roughground Posted June 30, 2023 Report Share Posted June 30, 2023 I'm taking the 6 to France and am trying to fathom the crit'air sticker. I think I don't need one and simply have to avoid driving in any restricted areas like Paris (which I don't in tend to do) Any advice would be very helpful Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blue TR4 Posted June 30, 2023 Report Share Posted June 30, 2023 Just been through this. If you look at the France web site that allows you to apply for these I don't think it will allow you to actually apply for one. They are only needed in some areas so I would check your route doesn't include any of these areas. I found the RAC guidance (search there web site) to driving in France useful as it's been a number of years since I had been to France. Hope this helps Neil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kevo_6 Posted June 30, 2023 Report Share Posted June 30, 2023 We did 1600 miles over France last summer in the 6 and had no problems at all but we did avoid any large towns and cities. I’m sure someone will be along soon with any information that may have changed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kiwifrog Posted June 30, 2023 Report Share Posted June 30, 2023 Vehicles registered in France as voiture de collection (Historic) are exempt since 2022 I imagine foreign registered cars with the equivalent registration would also be exempt. You are supposed to get a sticker for historic vehicles but it does not yet appear to be available. The whole system is new so I would expect some flexibility. There are only a very few places where it is applicable and I have not heard of it being enforced yet. The following article lists current and future ZFE’s (low emission zones) https://www.renestance.com/blog/how-will-frances-low-emission-zones-impact-you/ cheers Alan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

roughground Posted June 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2023 Many thanks. Given the age of the car and the fact that it has no classification I cannot see how one can apply for a sticker. We intend to stay in the Boulogne area to give the car a run (it's LHD)!

Steve-B Posted July 1, 2023 Report Share Posted July 1, 2023 It looks like a number of EU countries are in process of passing various ULEZ controls according to this article (you may need to install the free utility "bypass-paywalls-clean" to read) What's most concerning is cities where it appears anything pre-2006 may be banned Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Garvey Posted July 9, 2023 Report Share Posted July 9, 2023 I find this topic very interesting. Next year I am traveling through France to get to Stelvio, I assumed I would not require any exemption as I am traveling through France. Am I correct? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
