i was talking with a resident of Paris today , he said , the chances of being stopped for no sticker , if you are passing thro' is very low , you are more likely to get a parking ticket.

In Rouen, last September, there was a local police bod looking at the bikes parked up in the centre….. I felt very smug with my proudly displayed #2 sticker….
Just ordered one, my bike is Euro 5 but it didn't like that. I left that section blank and it went through ok
It's very easy.
Took me about 20min's and that included scanning in the first 2 pages of the V5.
You can use the pdf receipt they send if your sticker does not arrive before you set off.
Mine took nearly 10 days in total

The “no euro” option didn’t exist last year, I didn’t get a sticker for my old Guzzi and had no issues on my trip to Italy & back. I did get one for my Discovery, yellow #2, despite being a bloody great v6 diesel.

The French equivalent of ULEZ is apparently being apied with enthusiasm - and U. K. / foreign motorcyclists are fair game if not displaying the 'vignette'.
Anyone fallen foul of this, yet?

"Drivers need to apply via the official French government website before they leave home, as the stickers are not available locally, the motoring group warned.
The RAC said travellers also need to be aware that they may face restrictions on when they can drive into cities, depending upon their car’s emissions.
There are six categories in the Crit’Air vignette system, from green for the cleanest vehicles to dark grey for the dirtiest. The certificate you receive relates to the vehicle’s Euro emissions standards. Even those with a 100% electric car need to display the sticker.
Drivers heading to Paris, Rouen, Strasbourg, Toulouse, Montpellier, Lyon, Bordeaux, Grenoble, and several other cities, risk the fine if they don’t display one."

RAC reminds British drivers they must show clean air sticker in French cities
The Crit’Air vignette must be displayed to enter Paris, Rouen, Strasbourg, Lyon, and many other cities to avoid a €180 fine

It’s about £4 and 10 mins of your life to get and fit a sticker.
Not exactly purgatory.

"The €68 penalties are issued by local police officers in France, but next year camera-based enforcement will begin, meaning maximum fines will rise to a holiday budget-busting €750.
“As time goes on, the regulations also get stricter and within a few years all but zero-emission vehicles will be banned from some city centres,” said Dennis.
Not all vehicles are eligible. Cars registered before January 1997, and motorbikes and scooters registered before June 2000, are not, and cannot be driven at all where restrictions apply – causing a problem for owners of some classic motorbikes and cars."
1997 is 26 years ago. I’ll have an even bet that few car drivers in the UK, let alone this forum (who want to visit these cities) regularly drive cars that old for their holidays. The same applies to motorcycles at 23 years old. Yes, there’ll inevitably be some but they‘ll be in the very small minority. In short, the vast majority will have vehicles that pass the restriction easily and, more importantly, find it easy and cheap to buy a pass, should they need one.
Leaving that aside, the French love a ‘Classic vehicle’ gathering. I can assure you that we’ll be seeing ‘Old vehicles’ in French cities for years to come.

Where are us tossers putting these stickers? (No, don't) In our pockets? Can't see them lasting on the forks or on the screens.
Had one on the inside of a GSA screen for a few years with no issue at all apart from it now starting to fade.
It'll be easier when they put them on the French ANPR database. At least you will be able to show that you had one.
Agreed. On mine although the yellow bit is fading the QR code still seems to be clear. No-one's paid any attention to it yet tho

Put mine in an old tax disc holder and fixed it to one of the bolts joining the upper and lower crash bars on my GSA

Most cars in Briancon had them last year when I stopped for the night, probably because the Grenoble green air zone seemed to start quite a way out from the city as I passed some signs out in the countryside near the outskirts. I didn’t have a Crit’Air sticker.
