We are providing the key points on a special page.

This act applies to ALL vehicles, domestic and foreign, that might wish to enter the greater Paris area. Unapproved vehicles may not enter the zone between 8 am and 8 pm from Monday to Friday inclusive.

Vehicles with a first registration date before 1st January 1997 cannot obtain a Crit'Air Vignette.
