Howard Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 When I checked Calais to Rouen was about two hours and with DFDS allowing out bound to Calais and back via Dunquerke on the same booking it was a no-brainer. H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Cook Posted April 3 Author Share Posted April 3 Mike Rouen and St Etienne have been discussed, at some length, on another thread: In short, classic cars are exempt in Rouen https://urbanaccessregulations.eu/countries-mainmenu-147/france/rouen (open the 'Exemptions' box!), and in Sept, St Etienne regulations won't apply to cars. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redstag Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 On review of our travel plans Bruce and I are heading out Sunday night on the overnight to Caen to arrive Monday morning - then we have a little time to do touristy stuff and relax before the start on Tuesday. Saves a hotel in England and gives us a day chillin' ! (well thats the plan !) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Hi all. Yes, we've found the same as well. I'm amending the start point to a little way south of Rouen so as to not risk hitting the area by accident. More info to follow very soon. Regards Ellis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velocita Rosso Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 For my own peace of mind, I contacted the Certificat.air.gouvr.france, direct and this is the response I received contact@certificat-air.gouv.fr Good morning, Your vehicle is old: it falls under the less strict anti-pollution standards which result in more polluting technologies. It is not eligible for a certificate.

What is unhelpful is that French registered Classic Cars (over 30 years old) are exempt. But it seems they do not extend that benefit to us Brits.

Rosbif Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 That was for the CritAir classification not about low emission zones. My 1968 reg 13/60 also doesn't qualify for a CritAir classification and it has French nationality. The low emission zones have all, so far, accepted to exclude classics from the restrictions. An old car here can, under certain conditions, be registered as 'collection' as is mine. It is this registration that determines the exemption. Just don't worry about it, everything will be fine. Now I think about it isn't that what the captain of the Titanic said. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
