am i right in thinking that if i do not go into those cities which are being designated "green" that i dont need a sticker?
 
my van will never be allowed into clean cities.. it is 1993 diesel - and i dont have time now to get a sticker.... having read that website thoroughly it seems to imply that if i do not enter paris grenoble or lyon that i dont need one.....

what do others think?

Seems they are the only towns covered at the moment, although that might have changed recently.

Your assumption is correct.

I have recently returned from France and had no need to enter any of the cities that require the stickers.

Just check prior to your going, that any city you intend to enter with the van has not been added to the list.

Is it possible to get a sticker while you are in France? If so where do you get one from, at the moment not planning on travelling in any of the cities that require them but if we did decide to where would you go to get the sticker?

Hi Collette
This is on the Sanif payment page.
It does not say you have to have a clean engine, they just want to know how bad/good?
There must be a catch somewhere along the way?
It looks like they use the information from your V5 log book as you need to send it attached as a PDF file when you apply. it cost 3.70 euros plus postage. there are, it seems 6 different classes?

New Law for Driving in Francet
Deadline date 31st March 2017
The French government have launched a new scheme for all cars driving in Paris and other French cities (currently Lyon and Grenoble) which will include British registered cars.
From 31/03/2017 your car needs to display an emissions sticker showing the age and cleanliness of your vehicle.
If your vehicle does not display the sticker you could face hefty on the spot fines.
The anti-pollution sticker can only be ordered on-line from the official Crit’ Air website
Service de délivrance des certificats qualité de l?air - Ministère de la Transition écologique et solidaire

At the moment you will be fine.
In the future more towns may introduce restrictions, also there is a scheme to introduce parking based on sticker, so in the future we may need to keep eye out for that.

thanks BigAl i am leaving in 7 days so i dont have time to get them now. i am a country girl at heart anyways, and there are always park and rides these days if i did want to go into the big smokes......
 
Leaving on Sunday, haven't got a sticker either. Only town on the list I might venture near is Grenoble. As far as I can work out, Grenoble and Lyon don't have fixed times for when the sticker is required, apparently it's on a day by day basis based on daily pollution levels. so hopefully it will be a windy day when I drive through, haha :p

You do have the time(see below), but your vehicle won't get one however long you wait.

If you wanted one, and vehicle is eligible, you apply and first thing you get is an email which is proof if required, although I don't know what red tape you will have to go throu to sort out any fine.

The Crit' Air sticker costs €4.18, do not be sucked in by scam websites that want to charge you €15 or €20! You will need the sticker for more and more towns and cities in France as time goes on, so best just get one. It is a one off payment.

i thought i read that vans as old as mine (1993) were far too polluting to be granted an emissions ticket at all........
