How to get a Crit'Air sticker

You can order it yourself from the official government service for a few euros — it's the only legitimate source, it's tied to your registration plate, and it arrives by post. Order it well before you travel; delivery abroad takes longer than you'd expect. We don't sell stickers and never will — any site charging you extra for one is just a middleman.

The published boundary

This is Bordeaux Métropole's own geometry, not our tracing of it.

The zone covers central Bordeaux. Boundaries follow specific streets, so check before you rely on being just outside it.
