Can I use the N7 through Lyon? (1 Viewer)

[Boringfrog]

Can I use the A7 through Lyon without a crit d'air? Where are the boundaries and where can I find out more about it. Looked online last night and it says Lyon and Villeurbanne. Must be costing a fortune for signage, or is there no signage to say you entering a zone?

I do mean the A7....

Why not do the A46 and avoid Lyon ,can get very congested.

Yes, see the map here:

Unless you intend to drive into the centre of any of these towns, including Paris and Grenoble, the likelihood of you ever needing a vignette on the day you arrive, for the vehicle you drive, is so vanishingly small as to be discounted.
If, by chance, there was a road closure which necessitated a diversion inside a perimeter road, I can assure you the Police Nationale would have far better things to do than start pulling up vehicles and issuing tickets...
The French aren't particularly moved by this - I really do wonder about the hysteria that's been generated among the Brits....
Not a personal dig, I assure you - I've just been watching all these threads with a growing sense of wonder and embarrassment at what a nation of worriers we have become.....

Personally I would avoid Lyon like the plague. It has terrible traffic congestion and no obvious redeeming features, even the bypass seems pretty bad most of the time.

Why do you need to use it , plenty more ways of going south, best out of any large towns with motorhome.
Edit sorry just seen last post
