French Crit'Air Vignette System
The French Crit’Air vignettes form a multi-category sticker system used to identify a vehicle’s air pollutant emissions. The least polluting vehicles benefit from preferential parking and traffic conditions.
There are six categories in the Crit’Air vignette system, ranging from green for the cleanest to dark grey for the most polluting, corresponding to Euro emissions standards.
Green
Crit'Air E: zero emissions (electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles)
Purple
Crit'Air 1: petrol and rechargeable hybrid vehicles
Yellow
Crit'Air 2: Euro 5 and Euro 6 vehicles
Orange
Crit'Air 3: Euro 4 vehicles
Bordeaux
Crit'Air 4: Euro 3 vehicles
Dark grey
Crit'Air 5: Euro 2 vehicles
