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.

From Friday to Sunday, Europe 1 details the forecasts for Bison futé.

Particularly intense traffic difficulties are expected on the routes serving winter sports resorts in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, but also in the North since Belgium is also starting its holiday period.

A Red Saturday in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

From Friday February 23, Bisou futé anticipates difficulties in the Burgundy-Franche-Comté and Grand-Est regions.

To avoid traffic jams, it is best to avoid the A31 motorway, between France and Luxembourg, from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. and the A4 motorway, between Reims and Metz, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Traffic will be generally difficult in the north-east of France.

Saturday February 24, traffic will be very dense in the direction of departures, the day is classified orange nationally and red in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.

The routes towards the mountain ranges will be very congested throughout the day, particularly the A40 and A43 motorways.

In Île-de-France, traffic will be heavy on the A6 motorway from early in the morning.
