Download the Green-Zones app, put in your vehicle details and press map and it will show you all the areas in europe where you may go "green", where you may not go "red" and where there may be future restrictions "orange". As the owner of a 1995 camper I check this regularly, up to recently Paris was the only area in France where I was'nt permitted to enter. In the last week that has changed considerably. I hope this will help, best of luck.


How do you read the map? For France I can see green, orange and red zones. Is it only the red zones you can't enter in an older van (mine is 1996)

OK, makes sense now. Red zones for now seem to be only Paris, Lyon, Grenoble, Marseille

https://www.green-zones.eu/en/…s-app.html

Download this free app.
It comes with live location mapping, if your location is turned on your phone.
Fill in your vehicle sticker colour.
Once you approach a location that is an environmental zone, the app should advise you if the zone is opened or closed for your wagon.

Works reasonably well.
Input some details from your log book, along with purchased clean air stickers.
I didn't setup the location side of the app using data, because, it would murder the phone battery life.

 


The blue dot is my location.
The green dots are zones which are safe to enter.
Red dots are no go areas.
The black dots, The Netherlands are inconclusive because my log book has a stupid value for CO2/ km.

In all I am quite happy.
A quick check on route, clarifies everything.

While checking the distance difference between Cherbourg - Renne, and Roscoff-Rennes, which turns out to be just 10km, I got a caution about the requirement for a Crit-Air sticker for Rennes.
See HERE

BTW, Brittanny Ferries Cork-Roscoff for an early September crossing is significantlt less than the other routes to France.

I’m sure we got a Crit’Air sticker for our anticipated trip in 2020, so are they still required.
As our plan is to go to Spain Is a different one required ?

The sticker is for the life of the vehicle, so it should be on the windscreen.
AFAIK, Spain have yet to set Low Emission Zones

Spain does not issue stickers to foreign vehicles, but has brought in clean air for towns of more than 50,000 inhabitants. However Spain will recognise stickers from France and Germany. Barcelona (and I think Madrid) require foreign vehicle to register and pay a small fee. This seems to be valid for a couple of years.
This information comes from the N332 Facebook page of the Spanish police assistance for foreign travelers.

Def Barcelona, however with all my travels back and forward to Spain I have never seen anyone getting pulled by the police for not having it. Its not a permanent zone and only comes into play in certain circumstances.

I have also in my travels not aquired a crit air one either as I tend not to go into city centres in the motorhome

Its worthwhile getting the Green Zones EU app. It shows you all the zones to avoid

That's OK, but France also has emergency low emissions zones (known as ZPAs). A ZPA can include inter-city routes and rural areas. If you don't have the required Crit Air sticker it may not be possible to continue a journey and if the one you have is below the threshold you are supposed to stay put until the ZPA is clear

I’d say at least 80% of the French motorhomers don’t have one…… their ‘don’t give a damn’ attitude to stupid laws seems to work.


I think you might be referring to the Angle Mort stickers. Last year I did a walk around of about 60 mh's parked at the Cherburg Aire and there were only 4 with the stickers and they were large mh's very obviously over 3.5t. the rest were either 3.5t or uprated versions, impossible to tell without checking the VIN Plate.
They all had crit air discs, except for a few 'foreigners'.
