Does anyone know if the motorway around Paris is in the green environmental zone? Any tips on best route to Spain avoiding the green zones!

Download the 'Green Zones' app.

It shows all the zones, and you can zoom in to see the details.

It does appear to show the mway enters the lez zone.

Yes, I’ve got the app but it’s not very clear! We’re just on the ferry to Calais now. Set the satnav to avoid green zones and it’s got us going right through Paris on the motorway! Never too sure about trusting satnavs!!

This is why I always plot my routes on Mapsource or Basecamp (for Garmin units) to ensure the satnav takes me to where I want.

This appears to be an ongoing discussion, I've been trying to see if the transit routes through Rouen are corridors for non compliant vehicles. There are threads on here with maps showing these corridors but the maps are copies of the Green Zones app and I'm not sure where they get this information. It's interesting to see posts on other motorhoming web sites that enquiries directly to Rouen ZCR office that "Camping cars" are welcome to use the transit routes regardless of their Crit'Air category. I haven't checked the motorway around Bordeaux recently but would guess it's still ok with a Crit'Air4 category.
Regarding Rouen, I'll probably use the Pont de Brotonne crossing.
froli's Have you a Crit'Air certification for your motorhome? If you have a Crit'Air 2 or 3 you may be ok in some zones. See yodeli post above.

Thank you for your reply.
No, we’ve not got a Crit’Air sticker. Last minute decision to go to Spain for some sun!
We’re in montreuil now. Interesting that most French cars and vans, that I’ve seen, don’t have a crit air sticker!?
