Where can a motorcycle drive in France?

Two-wheelers, tricycles and quadricycles. They have their own classification table — there is no Crit'Air 5 for them at all.

6 of the 12 French cities that record a rule for a motorcycle set a Crit'Air floor; 6 record the class but require no sticker.

Rules in force on 13 August 2026, read from each authority's own published zone rather than applied from the car table.

6 cities record no rule for a motorcycle at all. Clermont-Ferrand, Grenoble, Montpellier, Reims, Saint-Etienne, Toulouse. Their published zone covers other classes but is silent on this one. Silence is not permission — check with the authority before you travel.
