Taken from Motorcycle News this week.
'All foreign vehicles travelling to (or through) Paris
Lyon or Grenoble after 31st March must display a sticker
or risk a £117 fine.
The stickers costing approximately £3.20 will be
available from the website of the
French air pollution agency Crit'Air.'
Take a look on the website, they have started fining
people from 15/01/17.
Be warned...

So most of use will be 2 unless we have a pre 2007 bike or a 2017 bike. I take it that must be date it was built and not registered date!

Be aware when looking to buy on-line as there are already several agencies set up to charge non French citizens up to 30.00 euro's for the sticker that should cost £3.20.
Not even sure you would get sticker sent so watch out.
I,m trying to find out where the official site is . Ill let you know when i do.

I've just applied for one of these - because I'm a goody-goody - and note a couple of things to watch for:-

Their form asks for a "serial number" just after asking who issued my V5. I didn't see anything on the V5 called that so I used the VIN of the bike - who knows?
They ask for which Euro standard applies. That doesn't appear on the V5 but we're almost certainly Euro 3 (except John Young :cool:)
They ask for "CO2 emissions". Well my V5 says 1.27 (g/kwh?) but I'm pretty sure the right answer is 94 (g/km) as the form will only accept an integer.

Bob just applied, new form asks for VIN number. The Euro standard and CO2 are not compulsory boxes now.

That reminds me that my sticker hasn't arrived yet!!

When, however, I ignored the box marked registration number and then spent ten minutes clicking on photos of mountains their tracker reported that "Your request is being processed. Your certificate will be sent shortly to the indicated address"

another good reason to go somewhere else. even though I selected the nice little union jack and it went to English soon as it moved on went back to French on the next page and would not translate real useful that. Was as if they don't want the English to go there or just fine us tut tut.

Had the same problem first time, but started again and it stayed in English.
