Be careful of the crossover on the roads!
If zone B (Marseille, Nantes, Lille, Rennes) begins its school holidays, zone C (Paris, Montpellier, Toulouse) prepares for its return to school.
Smart Kiss predicts difficult traffic on Saturday.
The day is classified orange nationally and red in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.
We take stock.
This weekend marks a major crossover on the roads of France: it will be the first week of the school holidays for zone B, the second for zone A and the end of the school holidays for zone C. Travel therefore risks to be difficult in certain regions.
