Last minute French ferry, Crit'Air required?

Hi,

Looking at a last minute ferry trip tomorrow to Cherbourg and probably over to Brittany West Coast. Do i need a Crit'Air sticker and how do I go about getting one last minute? Seems you need to order online but that wouldn't allow me time for delivery. Can you get them over there?

You won't need the sticker if just driving from Cherbourg towards Brittany and around the Brittany area. The requirement is only for certain larger cities, and none in that area.

One of many places online where you can find the list of where it's actually needed (and in your case, you can ignore how it says 'Don't forget the sticker'!):

Just in case you do go near one of the cities that require a cert, you can order one now and they'll email a temp cert within a day that you can print out

I would not worry about it. Stay out of big cities.

For anyone who's wondering, my cert arrived today after ordering on the 23rd May

So 13 business days to arrive, although since it's France the office probably only opened for 4 hours Tue-Thurs, closed all other days 😂
