What are Crit'Air stickers?
Crit’Air stickers were introduced in 2017 as part of France’s initiative to manage vehicle emissions and improve air quality.
Crit’Air stickers, or air quality certificates, are colour-coded vignettes that indicate a vehicle’s emissions level according to European standards. There are six main categories, each represented by a different colour and number. The categories range from green (least polluting) to grey (most polluting). These stickers allow authorities to regulate traffic, especially in Low Emission Zones (LEZ) and during high pollution periods.
Driving into France from the UK without a valid ‘clean air’ sticker can lead to a fine of up to €750.
Crit’Air stickers may also be referred to as ‘clean air’ or ‘air quality’ certificates, vignettes or stickers, or in French, “certificat qualite de l’air”.
