Driving to France

South via Belgium. France has no vignette, but it does have low-emission zones (ZFE) requiring the Crit’Air sticker — that one you arrange yourself, with our free guidance thrown in.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Crit’Air sticker required on the motorway?

No, only inside the ZFE zones of cities like Paris, Lyon and Grenoble — and on designated routes during smog alerts. Tolls are paid per stretch at the péage.

Why don’t you sell the Crit’Air sticker?

Because you can buy it directly from the French government for €3.81 + postage, while intermediaries charge far more than they should. We explain exactly how to do it yourself in 5 minutes.
