Route planning, avoiding Rouen, and low emission zones, from France through to Portugal (1 Viewer)

I would apply for a Crit Air badge anyway so that you know where you are - only a few euros.
Use the French Gov website only

The problem with this is that you are volunteering your information so it actually makes it easier for them to prosecute.

When you talk to the French camping caristes, hardly any of them have the sticker because they seem to think it should only apply to Paris.

Ok - I received a response from the City of Rouen ZFE Department.
Considering Derek's explication of what "motorhome" means in this context, I'm unsure if one should rely on this response.
I have asked Rouen for clarification regarding foreign registered motorhomes.
Here's the response :
"Sir,
You wanted to know if there was an exemption for motorhomes to drive in the ZFE-m of the Rouen Normandy Metropolis.
We confirm that motorhomes are authorized to circulate in the ZFE-m by way of derogation, until June 30, 2024.

Starting to plan my route, I was primarily aiming to avoid Rouen's decapitating underpasses, but then realised that actually, avoiding low emission zones is a much bigger problem.

Recently my sat nav took me through Rouen without any tunnels whatsoever. It was a better route if a little busy. It's possible that the sat nav up in the sky has been reprogrammed for that reason.

What is the problem with these tunnels in Rouen is it height say 2or 3 metres high or more , or is it width ?

At least one of the tunnels. is less than 2 metres high. It's the city centre ones are the worst.
