Just saw this on the RAC website, not sure if it has been posted elsewhere, but maybe useful for people:

Best I can ascertain, buy a sticker that shows your van is compliant, or face a big fine! To be Honest, it only applies in cities, so not a big issue!

 

[Madcaravanner]

Hmm not sure we will comply except at the top end in till we get the mother paperwork when we pick the m/have up
Though am in a French forum so asked a question on there

Just seen a similar article in the Daily Mail and posted a separate thread so it does seem legit, but only for major cities, with Paris leading the way

Well they've really thought it through ... camping cars are up to 3,500kgs only, over that and you fall into the truck/commercial vehicle category!

The enforcement of low emission zones and fining those who fail to display a sticker might be somewhat patchy unless Paris invests heavily in cameras and systems for issuing fines like London.

When Paris had smog lasting several days in December, they banned cars with odd and even number plates on alternate days from entering the city but many drivers ignored the ban, and risked a fine so they could get to work. As a result the actual reduction in the number of cars going into Paris was relatively small, nowhere near 50%, according to the French media.

It also included Lyon and Grenoblemhowever those with disabled badges are exempt from needing a vignette.

Guess that puts paid to our plans for Paris at Easter, the indigo campsite we were planning on using is right in the middle of the zone and our 2002 Euramobile is non compliant totally.

Your link doesn't work either ... there must be something weird with the RAC site!

 

[John745]

Try This

Interesting - I couldn't actually see anything wrong with your link. As you say, something odd with the RAC website.

Don't work by just left clicking on it, but if you highlight it and RIGHT CLICK, then select 'open in new tab' it works ... don't ask me why!!!

Forget that ... it's decided it won't work again!

 

[Minxy]

Definitely weird!

just tried that link and it fails from motorhome fun site if you select the whole address ( CTRL +c) and past it into a blank internet page (CTRL +v) and press enter.

 

[klaatu]

It's something the forum is adding that the RAC site doesn't like.

This might work: http://bit.ly/2jZfcPp

Click on the link then read the address and remove _$ja from the link and hey presto it works

I have managed to view the site and found it lacking in information. The links given for finding out your class are not very clear.
This is a better link https://www.crit-air.fr/en.html although it seems to be charging 30 euros for the vignette

 

[Madcaravanner]

OK
So far information recieved
22 cities only 3 full time at present (Paris Grenoble Lyon)

Cost around £3-4
Disabled MAY be exempt waiting for confirmation

Errr I read 3€70 for the vignette it's here
https://www.service-public.fr/particuliers/vosdroits/F33371

For French vehicles it says

The certificate is then sent to the address shown on the vehicle registration card.
The period for issuing the certificate is approximately 30 days.
It includes a flash code with a digital signature to prevent fraud.
This certificate is charged € 3.70 , plus the amount of the delivery by mail. For delivery in France, this amounts to € 4.18 .

 

[Madcaravanner]

OK

Disabled MAY be exempt waiting for confirmation

Just had an email from my French friends and Disabled are exempt as are emergency vehicles
