That is interesting to know. I think my sat-nav asks me if I want to avoid these areas. I never know whether to avoid or not - press the "whatever" button and just get on with and see what happens ! Never had a ticket, but always a bit uneasy about it all. French not liking rich people - see film "Camping" when a wealthy Parisian in a vintage 75 Reg Aston Martin is forced onto a campsite. Great film, very funny
The Crit Air is not required for the OPs trip, unless he is making a significant detour. Details on the RAC website
I agree. As I like to tour at least once a year and each one more than likely involves traversing France I get one as a matter of course. More information here. There are other websites out there selling these at vastly inflated prices, the link to the official source on the page above charges less than €5 delivered to a UK address. I do note from the above page that in 2025 that towns/cities with populations greater than 150,000 will be required to introduce a Low Emission Mobility Zone. Not sure if this actually means you'll need a Crit'Air sticker for these to be compliant or not...? If it were Le Havre would be included, not Caen or Bayeux though. I don't actually apply the fairly large sticker to my bike as the instructions insist. Instead I keep it in my document wallet. Have yet to test the attitude of the French Rozzers to this blatant transgression...
Yes, fitting the sticker to a curved screen is a nightmare. I made such a hash of it fitting it to the Monster, I bought a new screen for when we are not in France Andy
