Reply To: Has anyone applied for a French certificate?

I have just spoken to them on that number; sadly (for me) the lady did not speak any English at all, but whilst I initially thought she said that as long as the V5 said “Historic Vehicle” then all would be OK, but then I _think_ she said that I needed to contact the Mairie de Paris. She did not have the contact details. If this really is so, then this would make it necessary to get individual permission from ALL towns that put a ban in place. Nightmare.

https://www.paris.fr/stoppollution#le-plan-qualite-de-l-air-les-interdictions-de-circuler-les-derogations_15 is possibly the place to look, but even after running that page through Google Translate I still can’t find the answer.

I am slightly surprised that the AA or some other umbrella organisation hasn’t put a FAQ on the www; but at the risk of not being at all helpful I will park this issue now, as I am rapidly getting out of my depth language-wise, and have no immediate plans to take my Traction to Paris anyway.
