Snow tires, are you ready ?

Are you ready ? Only a few days left to equip yourself! The deadline of November 1 is approaching, and the motorists concerned will have to equip themselves with winter tires. After years of discussion, the decree on compulsory winter tires, published in October 2020 in the Official Journal, will come into force on November 1, 2021. 47 departments will be affected. The prefects must establish and communicate a list of municipalities where vehicles must be fitted with winter tires between November 1 and March 31.

 Will it be necessary to install snow tires, as they are too often called?

No, motorists will have two options to choose from:

be fitted in the trunk of the vehicle with snow chains (metallic or textile, the famous “socks”) on at least two driving wheels

be equipped with winter tires (4-season tires are accepted) on all four wheels

Note that cars fitted with studded tires are not affected by this obligation

    finally, in the event of an offense, a fine of 135 euros will have to be paid and the vehicle will be immobilized

Coming to France

Is it safe to come to France?
 
France has not been quarantined but there are a few clusters of coronavirus COVID-19 in Oise, Haute-Savoie, Morbihan, Haut-Rhin, Corse du Sud, Aude and Calvados departments.
 
We recommend that you do not travel to these clusters.
Kindergartens, primary and secondary schools and universities are shut from 16 March until further notice.
 
On 14 March 2020, France entered the 3rd phase of the epidemic. The French Prime Minister has therefore ordered that all places open to the public and that are not essential services (food shops, pharmacies, service stations, banks, press outlets and essential public services) be closed until further notice.
