French clean air zones

[philo beddoe]

Going to France in our diesel 1995 auto sleeper. Starting in Calais heading for the loire valley planning to keep off motorways & toll roads where possible just a bit concerned about the clean air zones have looked on the internet but can't find a simple list of zones.
Finding all online info very complicated
All I want is a simple list of zones to avoid.
Have no plans to go into towns or cities with the restrictions so do I still need a crit air sticker.

For the cost of one it’s best to get one they are only about €5 and you may find yourself in a situation where you have to go into a zone

My understanding is due to the age of my vehicle I can't enter a french clean air zone without getting a fine.
Same as the London LEZ.

If you have a smart phone look for and download the 'Green Zones' app, don't pay any money.

You can view all the LEZ maps for free.

Have a look at this site, find it a good resource.

The French zones are not like the LEZ which s permanent, as only a few(4-5?) French ones are permanent. The rest are only active when promulgated so by the local authority when pollution reaches certain levels, which has rarely happened.

However, even in non-active zones it is the requirement to display a Crit'Air sticker.

So, it is better to get a sticker and then you only have to steer clear of the Permanent zones, which will be listed in the links above.
