Low-emission zones in France

19 French cities restrict older vehicles from driving in. Pick your city to see whether you need a Crit'Air sticker today, which one, and when the rules tighten.

Driving a motorhome, campervan or van over 3.5t? These are usually judged more harshly than cars, and most tools ignore them. Every city page below breaks the rules out by vehicle type, and says so plainly where the source is unclear.

How this works

France uses the Crit'Air vignette — a numbered sticker from 0 (electric) to 5 (oldest diesel), based on your engine and registration date. A city sets the dirtiest number it will admit. Crit'Air 3 means 3, 2, 1 and electric may enter; 4 and 5 may not.

We don't sell stickers. It's a physical vignette tied to your plate and posted to you, so buying it from anyone but the official service just adds a markup and a delay. Each city page links the official source.
