Make sure you apply here ,there's lots of scam sites about

Le site officiel de la vignette Crit'Air (certificat qualité de l'air) - Ministère de la Transition écologique

Le seul site officiel à délivrer la vignette Crit'Air (certificat qualité de l'air), établie en fonction des émissions polluantes du véhicule.

Crit'aire is the only official emissions sticker

Are you looking for advice on overnight stays in France rather than emission control zones?
If so then searchforsites is the best. Also available as an app.

My mistake, I meant a tag for motorway payments such as Fulli or Emoving=via T tag.
Any advice would be appreciated as I'm travelling around France in September

 

[Andacami]

Avoid the toll roads if you can? We are going over in September for a month and have mot bothered.

Don't forget your Crit'air sticker as well as it's a legal requirement.

And yet the French don’t bother with them.

 

[jumar]

Totally confused...

Maybe the French don't bother with them if they don't drive into the Crit'air zones. I haven't planned my route to Spain yet but I've bought the sticker. For less than a fiver (one off payment for life of vehicle) it's best to be on the safe (legal) side.

Without reopening the long threads on the subject, we've got the Fulli tag but the Emovis tag is simpler to own.

Saw plenty of cars in Rouen displaying Crit’air stickers on a recent trip

 

[Thornebt]

Rouen is one of the zones so that makes sense. No point in risking a 135 euro fine I guess.

 

[Littlewheels]

I pass by Rouen on the main route on a regular basis without any problem. l did previously get a sticker but since it’s only paper and not chipped it cannot be checked without someone in authority is stood within two feet of it.
All it does is put you on their data base so they can apply any fines from cameras etc.
Since the French are up and down with the speed limits ie 90 is 70 some signs replaced some not then they change it back therefore the old signs are good again but the new ones are not,you don’t know where you are and can pick up a speeding fine without any knowledge of speeding.
l will now continue to take the risk of which there is none,in my opinion.

Not sure the risk will be 'none' when the gendarme looks at your windscreen!

Emovis is easy to apply for and the call centre is in Harrogate

Not correct, just your opinion.

Again not correct, in any department where the speed limits on either certain or all of its routes have been changed from the countrywide blanket ones the old signage (if there was any) will have been removed and replaced with the new and in force ones.
The major change was/ is from 90Kph to 80Kph, although many towns are enforcing 30Kph rather than a blanket 50Kph for some roads through the town, there will be a notice at the entrance to town limits stating 30Kph but with a proviso if the road surface has regularly placed 50Kph that speed overrides the 30.
You will also often find a 70Kph limit shortly before the 50Kph mandatory at the village limit, in an attempt to slow drivers into and through the village.

Bip and Go. Crit air for France and Germany about a tenner. No brainier really.

 

[Srp111]

Bip and go for us too, very easy, covers Spain, Portugal, France and Italy

[Thornebt]

Is Bip and Go valid for over 3.5 tonne vans?

 

[georgio]

I have got emovis very easy to get within 48 hours. Bip and go can be complicated by your bank accounts.

Revolut It’s simple and you don’t need to give out your main bank details.

So you say, however, it’s was widely reported that different departments hadn’t changed the signage so l will stick with my opinion.

 

[Wicked Welsh Lady]

I dont intend to drive into any city, do I still need Crit Aire please?

Crit’air is not only just cities but in some departments large swathes of the adjoining countryside , for the cost of a few euros it’s worth having
