I wonder how pres is trop pres to a city soon to be involved. I am hardly likely to be moving further than Perigueux in the foreseeable future but I can envisage passing both Limoges and Bordeaux perhaps, via their rocades and by-passes.
Also, what are these classes, 3, 4 and 5 and non classes? My own Crit Air has nothing on it other than the reg. no. and an F.
Finally, if the various rocades etc. are included in the restrictions isn’t that self defeating if non conforming vehicles have to do massive detours?
Another thought, if someone with a car which does not conform, has to make a necessary medical visit to a restricted city, is that not going to increase the pressure on hospital taxis. (ref. other thread) ?
As far as I have read, the crit’air zones are restricted to areas of cities inside the ring roads
That’s my understanding as well.
Have just applied for a new Yellow one for my Duster as the old one was damaged during a windscreen change and would no longer adhere to the screen.
While I don’t go much further into Toulouse than the airport, for the sake of under €4, it seemed a no brainier especially as we have plans to visit Bordeaux.
Do you need one for Bordeaux?
Don’t know if it helps but our diesel berlingo 2017 is class 2. Lorries are allowed to enter Rouen (for example) if they have a drop there so would think you could go for a hospital appointment. I don’t know how you would be able to do this though once it is policed by cameras rather than humans.
Not at the moment but you will from the end of this year.
for those who missed it in the first post…
RED = now in force
GREEN = coming into force by 2025
My diesel Partner is quite a bit older than that and was the first vehicle for which I was invited to apply, so probably non-classe.
Oh dear… is that the only vehicle you have??
No, but it has a Crit Aire badge, The other car, a diesel Berlingo only goes as far as the next village, 4 kms, where the shops are. At approaching half a million kms I think it has done its bit and due for a quiet life. 
I also have a diesel partner tepee. It’s 2011 and is CritAir 2. How old is yours ?
Edit : If you go on the CritAir website and enter your registration number and date of first registration, it tells you what CritAir category it is.
Please excuse the slight thread drift, but Waze (and possibly other navigation apps) are updated with the latest Crit’Air information from day to day.
You can enter your vehicle’s Crit’Air category in the app (go to Settings/Add Crit’Air pass) and it will then ensure that the routes it offers do not take you into any forbidden zones.
I’m wondering what the F that you mention, actually stands for… as it doesn’t appear on any examples I’ve seen…
But the good news is… even if your Crit’Ait badge classement doesn’t entitle you to enter a particular town-clean-air-zone… you’ll only be fined for the day and not the number of times you are “flashed” during that day in that town-zone…
We’ll be visiting there close to NYE, so I thought it better to pay €4 now than potentially many times that later.
It was obtained after I registered it in the Dordogne in December 2016 and it closely resembles the yellow one in your pictures above. The only difference is the lack of the big white 2. I think your example does have an F in exactly the place where it is on mine. Could the 2 have faded in sunlight? The words Crit’Air are at the top as in yours, but barely readable due to fading.
So if it is a 2, what does that mean?
crit’air 2 = petrol car first built/registered between 2006/2010
or
diesel car first built/registered after january 2011
I have now applied for our 2 cars. Eady application process.
Does the application have to be renewed annually?
