Driving in France

Driving in France can be a vastly different experience from driving in your own country.
Please see the information you need to know in one handy guide supplied by the RAC.

Clean air, Crit’Air France

Clean air sticker: Some cities may require you to register your vehicle for a Crit’Air sticker.
Crit’Air stickers are mandatory for driving in low-emission zones introduced by certain local authorities, or when the préfet introduces emissions-based traffic restrictions during periods of pollution.
Registering directly with the government is inexpensive and easy. Many websites offer this service for a fee. The government site is in English, German and French.
