France - Air Quality Certificate

Post by djmikeymike » Fri May 12, 2017 3:39 pm

Hi There Bongo People!

Just preparing for a fun Bongo holiday in Europe and was looking at what I needed to get around in France... several people have mentioned to me that if you want to drive through French cities you need a "Air Quality Certificate". Went to the web site (https://www.certificat-air.gouv.fr/en) to try and get it sorted and as my Bongo is a '96 diesel its says to me that I can't get one for vehicles prior to '97...

Just wondered if any one else ran into this? Does it mean I can't take Bongy into major French cities?

Thanks in advance!

Mike.

It's a limited idea at the moment. 3 cities only. The RAC have a good article https://www.rac.co.uk/drive/news/motori ... ch-cities/
