Mail for help.Help!!

Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

France Crit'air pollution zones

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Is there somewhere I can check the live / current badge requirements for Crit'air zones, e.g. Grenoble? Since I'll be driving around that area quite a bit later this month.

I think Geneva and Annecy might also have ones I could come into contact with, but haven't checked properly.

We are in Annecy right now (wife spending her ski pass entitlement) and I hadn't given Crit Air a thought. Luckily its still in the windscreen since transiting Lille a month ago.

Without subscribing to a very expensive app this seems to be the website:

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Looking more closely, it seems the Grenoble restrictions only apply to commercial vehicles rather than normal cars. Can someone with local knowledge confirm?

@Charliegolf, sorry, what's painless and efficient?

@Charliegolf, we'll be hiring a car, so hopefullyshouldn't need to purchase a sticker I don't think. Thanks anyway though!

@rjs, Swiss side. Last time we hired, the car had a sticker. But can't remember what category.

If I recall correctly, the rules are tighter when air quality is poorer, which could be the case currently with the persistent high pressure over Europe. Not particularly concerned about it, but aware that it's something I need to look out for once we pick up the car.

@denfinella, If you don't have a sticker then I don't think you can buy one for a rental car as you wouldn't have the registration document.

The pollution level driving down on friday was horrific, it smelt like a sewer and speed limit was down to 110.
So little wind hardly any of the wind turbines were moving

@rjs, ah, thanks, ok.
@robs1, sounds lovely Laughing

Hopefully the hire car will have a sticker which conforms to whatever the current restrictions around Grenoble are. If it doesn't, I think there are a few "exempt" roads we can stick to anyway.

Any rental car will conform to current Crit Air etiquette 1. It’s largely older diesels that won’t.
