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