Britons driving to France warned over clean air fines

UK motorists may need to get stickers as more low emission zones spring up in French cities

British drivers heading over the Channel have long had to factor in a whole host of extra things to carry, from yellow vests to warning triangles. But how many of those making the trip this summer are aware they will need to display a clean air sticker - called a Crit'Air vignette - if they plan to drive into several French cities?

In a similar move to the clean air and ultra-low emission zones that have sprung up in the UK, the French have at least 12 zones of their own, with more being added all the time.
