France · Low-emission zone (ZFE)

Nantes has a ZFE.

The municipal instrument that sets this has not been read, so the exact requirement — and any exemption it grants — is unconfirmed. Settle it with Nantes Métropole before you travel.

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.
