Nancy, France · Low emission zone
Official name Zone à Faibles Émissions mobilité (ZFE-m) de la Métropole du Grand Nancy
In force in Nancy right nowTuesday, 13 October 2026 at 11:02 · Europe/Paris
The zone is always on, but today it reaches almost nobody driving a car: only light commercial vehicles, lorries, buses and coaches at Crit'Air 5 or unclassified are restricted, and this timetable does not check the category or the class.
Cars and powered two-, three- and four-wheelers enter the scheme on 1 January 2028. That is a future step and is deliberately not encoded as a rule here.
The A31, A33, A330, M674 and D83 are outside the perimeter, so a journey that only uses them is not in the zone at any hour.
Operating times only, read from the source below. It does not check your vehicle.
Grand Nancy's low emission zone has been running since 1 January 2025 and it does not reach a car. The Métropole's calendar, and article 2 of the order that created the zone, restrict only light commercial vehicles, lorries, buses and coaches at Crit'Air 5 or unclassified; cars, motorcycles, tricycles and quadricycles join on 1 January 2028.
Vans owned by private individuals are out until then as well, by an explicit derogation that runs to 31 December 2027 — so today the van ban is a ban on professionally owned vans. What every driver does need inside the perimeter is a Crit'Air sticker: the order requires it on the windscreen even for a vehicle holding an exemption or a derogation.
There is no charge and no day rate. Grand Nancy's ZFE-m bans rather than prices: a restricted vehicle is not allowed in at a price, it is not allowed in at all unless it holds a derogation or a Pass ZFE 24h for that day. Neither the Métropole's page nor the order names a fee for either, and none is invented here.
Permanent. Article 4 of the order is explicit: the zone applies every day, from 00:00 to 24:00.
The road network of the twenty communes of the Métropole du Grand Nancy: Art-sur-Meurthe, Dommartemont, Essey-lès-Nancy, Fléville-devant-Nancy, Heillecourt, Houdemont, Jarville-la-Malgrange, Laneuveville-devant-Nancy, Laxou, Ludres, Malzéville, Maxéville, Nancy, Pulnoy, Saint-Max, Saulxures-lès-Nancy, Seichamps, Tomblaine, Vandœuvre and Villers-lès-Nancy.
Three motorways are carved out in both directions — the A31, the A33 and the A330 — together with the M674 and D83, and the access roads to nine park-and-ride sites. Diversions ordered by the traffic police during works, events or road incidents are outside the restrictions for as long as the diversion lasts.

No petrol car is restricted here yet. The Métropole's calendar brings cars — and powered two-, three- and four-wheelers — into the zone only on 1 January 2028, and then only at Crit'Air 5 and unclassified.
The same: no diesel car is restricted here yet, and the 2028 step is written as a Crit'Air class rather than as a registration year. The vehicles the zone does reach today are light commercial vehicles, lorries, buses and coaches at Crit'Air 5 or unclassified.
The Métropole's page does not state an amount, and neither does the order that created the zone — so the fine here is a figure that exists and that we have not read. Assume there is one.
The order cites article R.411-19-1 of the Code de la route among the provisions it rests on, which is the national article other French publishers in this corpus quote a figure from, but taking their number would be reading it off another city's page. Not estimated here.
Next scheduled re-check: 2026-12-11.
This is owed on the country's roads, not inside this scheme. What France asks, with the source
