Zone details
Area covered
Grand Nancy ZFE covers metropolitan municipalities with exemptions for specified main roads. Commercial-vehicle and passenger-car timetables differ and must not be confused.
Crit’Air for a vehicle registered abroad
Crit’Air classification depends on fuel, emissions standard and first registration date. Order from the official French website using the application for vehicles registered abroad, with the registration certificate.
For cars, affix the sticker inside the windscreen. A German Umweltplakette does not replace it. The oldest vehicles may not qualify for any Crit’Air category.
Local limits and operating hours
There is no single emissions threshold for every French ZFE. Compare your Crit’Air category with the rules for the particular metropolitan area and distinguish cars, motorcycles, vans and heavy vehicles.
Some restrictions operate continuously and others only on certain days or at certain hours. Temporary pollution restrictions are a separate measure.
Exemptions and planning your arrival
Apply to the relevant ZFE authority for any local exemption or occasional-use permit. Permission from another metropolitan area is not automatically valid here.
If your vehicle cannot enter, choose parking outside the zone and check the full approach route. A hotel or parking reservation is not an emissions exemption.
