Crit Air have been a requirement in certain cities for a few years now. I bought one for our old Land Rover when they first came out but all it does is confirm the thing is poisoning the planet one smog cloud at a time. I have them for the other vehicles we own / drive / borrow as we go through Grenoble often but they’re all in the glove box rather than on the windscreen. I’ve never seen one checked, or even on the windscreen of many French vehicles.
Quite what you do with bikes I’m not sure as it’s a windscreen sticker, and what you do with smokey old clunker bikes (such as I’ll be heading off to France on in a month or so) I’m not sure either. As is the case with a lot of these regulations ( and French ones in particular) the observation is often more theoretical than practical.
