New Environmental rules in France

Yet another new law for driving in France. I'm preparing to go to France on 19th June, when I notice that certain vehicles now need a sticker be allowed in certain areas. Can anyone, I assume our French friends, advise me on whether I should purchase an emissions sticker to avoid risking a hefty on-the-spot fine of €68 (£60).

Mate of mine just told me gloves also need to be CE marked now... big bucks on-the-spot fine if label doesn't display CE mark.
Bikers are slowly being fined and legislated off French roads - if it's true!
Maybe we'll have to by-pass France altogether and ride Belgium into Europe soon.
To test a man's character, give him (horse) power.

Yeah, it seems the French government has it in for bikers but their rules would not put me off travelling to / through France. Making gloves, Hi-viz compulsory does not bother me as I usually wear them anyway. If the rule states I need an environmental permit I will buy one. I just don't want to buy it if it unnecessary. I'm not planning to visit any of the larger cities but I have no definite route and may change my mind.

From the Royal Automobile Club ( RAC ) Web Site :
As of January 2018, the stickers are currently in use in Paris, Lyon, Grenoble, Lille, Strasbourg and Toulouse. Between now and 2020, it is expected that some 25 areas will take part in the scheme, with the RAC anticipating Bordeaux and Rouen to join in before the end of 2018.
Paris is operating a permanent scheme that applies to every weekday (not during the night or at weekends). Grenoble also has a permanent scheme, but at the time of writing it only applies to commercial vehicles). Lyon, Lille, Strasbourg and Toulouse currently have emergency schemes, meaning they can impose restrictions on vehicles if pollution is expected to reach a particular level.
The Crit’Air initiatives applies to all
cars,
motorbikes
and lorries and affects both French residents and foreign drivers - although if you have a particularly old car that does not conform to any emissions standards, you won't be eligible for a vignette and you won't be permitted to drive your vehicle during those times when restrictions are imposed.
It is also worth noting that the Crit'Air scheme also applies to disabled vehicle owners.
The Crit'Air "Vignette" ( Sticker ) can be obtained On Line here :
Air Quality Certificate Service
The application process needs information from your Registration Document ( V5C )
Some fields on the form seem complicated - asking for information that isn't on your V5C,
as these are included in the very latest motorcycles compliant with Euro 4 standards.
Just include the information that you do have, and proceed with the application -
which is what I just did - the Fee is 4.21 Euros - I have no idea yet how long it Will take to arrive !
Cheers

At the start of the year the Crit'Air Certificate was only required in a few major Cities, for example
Lyon,Paris ect, to enforce emissions control ! but was known to be adopted eventually widely across
France. After applying for mine on-line I received it within
7 days
I fix mine to the Bike using the `old' style Licence holder, which are still available online, don't risk
just sticking on the screen
The Certificate stays with the Bike for `Life' even when sold on.

In years to come, when all petrol and diesel engines have been banned/become obsolete and we all have zero emission electric vehicles, what will they come up with to relieve us of some cash I wonder.
