Crit Air sticker for French autoroutes?

[Bluerange39]

Hi,

I’ve googled this a little but am not 100% clear - in a couple of weeks I’m driving to Andermatt in Switzerland for a couple of days. Do I need a crit air sticker for France on the basis I’ll be sticking to the autoroutes I.e. not going into city centres?

I’m doing a similar thing in September which will see me in France for 10 days but at no point do I intend being anywhere larger than Beaune and driving around Grenoble to get to Provence (via scenic route obvs)

It’ll be two different cars so I’d rather not buy twice. Or at all tbf. Vignette is sorted for the Swiss trip.

Thanks

The RAC says:

We've always had the stickers on the cars, but I don't think we've ever been checked.

My understanding is it's for zones within the listed cities, not Autoroutes...but I'm no expert. Even if needed you'd be the unluckiest person in the world to get copped on an Autoroute!

The cost is tiny!

My TVR is too old for a crit air sticker, I'll be going through France to Switzerland.

Is it really? You know what- I hadn’t even checked. Assumed similar to a vignette

You didn't read the RAC link above. 3.81 of your euros to include postage

And it lasts forever (or until they ditch it)

My bad chaps!

Feeling suitably chastised, I have ordered a sticker

Cheers

Grenoble is an area that requires one - even if you are just passing through on the Autoroute you are still technically in the Crit d'air zone. The French have voted to scrap low emission zones though so they may not be required indefinitely.
