French abandon low emission zones.

I found this so I don't know if it's wise to throw your sticker away just yet.

It's not that the French Crit’Air system is complex, but rather the abolition of LEZs was voted for by a parliamentary committee this Wednesday, 26 March 2025. Don’t rejoice too quickly if you own an older vehicle or plan to visit a city with LEZs: the system’s end hasn't yet been confirmed.
 
No need for Crit'air stickers anymore as all restrictions have been abolished. Vive la revolution.
Hi, looking at driving to France in July..does this mean I don't need to buy one? We are driving to Disney and staying local
 
I think you should still get one unless the online application page says otherwise. I haven't seen a cut off date yet.
 
No worries I'll get one, better to be safe than sorry I guess
 
Great, even more confusion for August! @LeStempy I will shoot you a message at some point when I'm not knackered with work, will probably head up through Normandy on our way to the boat. Planning on visiting LeMans if there's anything going on, hard to tell by their website

Le Mans is a nice town to visit apart from the circuit. There's a free camping car aire down by the river with water services. The museum at the circuit is a bit underwhelming but still worth a visit.

We drive to Disney every year. If you're just driving there and back you won't need one. Disneyland Paris is located in Marne-la-Vallée, which is outside the Paris city center and its low-emission zone.
 
I will add that any area can be made a temporary low emission zone if deemed necessary by local government, so for a couple of quid may still be worth getting one all the while the LEZ legislation is still in force, which could be a while knowing the pace of such things here.
