Race truck in France on Sunday

[lanan]

I can find references online to HGV being allowed to travel on Sundays in France, if they carry perishable goods or supporting a sporting event or trade fair. But that's similar to " A bloke down the pub told me.."

Can anyone point me to any official confirmation or clarification ?

That's stated on pretty much every site that gives information for HGVs in Europe so i would say it's good information

From the FTA

Appreciate that Nick, thanks for taking the time.

I see that,

3a. Vehicles whose load is indispensable for the installation of economic, sporting, cultural,
educational or political events which have been duly authorised, on condition that the said
event is to take place on the same day or, at the latest, on the day following the transport.

The vehicles mentioned under points 3, 6 and 7 may travel laden at the end of the event or the
sale, within a zone restricted to the region of the place where the event or sale took place and its
neighbouring departments or the region of the place where the event or sale took place and
adjacent regions within a distance of 150 kilometres.
