If you own a car or follow the news at all, you’re no doubt familiar with the Crit’Air sticker and how it works. By the way, the latter is very simple, as it is based on the year of registration of the car. This assigns a number between 1 and 5. The latter then simply lets you know if the car is eligible to drive in the ZFE (Low Emission Zone). Thus, this small sticker is now mandatory for driving in many cities, including the metropolis of Greater Paris, as well as Rouen, but not only.
