Morning /afternoon all, I'm off to Grenoble next month for a trip around Vercors, so had to purchase a crit-air vignette. After sticking it to my screen, which has a dark smoke tint, you can still see the sticker category and my reg no but the digi code isn't that legible.

Anyone had problems in-country with these things or do you just have to show you've bought one.

Oh and no you can't peel it off and turn it round....... Confused

They aren't going to be looking at them unless it's a high pollution period.
I would just have the hard to read bit on a note or phone.
Assuming I bought one at all.

You might find photo flash shows it quite well.

Cheers - We're there for three days so figured I can stand the £4.29, only one of our party has a bike too old to receive a sticker so we might have to doctor a fake penalty notice ............... Twisted Evil

Faking a penalty notice is a much more serious crime than the penalty you are trying to avoid. Shocked

I went to the Vercors last September.. after briefly visiting it (to ride Combe Laval in June and we stayed at Camping Moto. (a great place that isn't just camping!!) - whats not to like about a place that welcomes you with a beer!!

Loved it.. the area is stunning. One day I hope to go again.

Sooner or later opinions fade and the name on the tank matters not. I think that happens somewhere between 3rd and 4th gear. Enjoy the ride... everything else takes care of itself.

A place that charges/extorts £30 for the pleasure to visit.

Those erocnuts don't pay to use our roads when they visit.

Roll on Brekshit. Laughing

I see.. well all I can say is that we didn't bother with one of those because we had zero intention of entering any of the cities that require them and they're not needed if you are simply passing through on the autoroute (at Lyon for instance) we did on one day pass fairly close to Grenoble and the traffic was hellish. even a few miles out.. luckily we were only in the thick of it for a short while. It was wild.. and a real relief to climb back into the Vercors which was comparatively empty of traffic.

Grenoble? dont bother unless you absolutely must.

Well you were right about the traffic around Grenoble, think everyone who lives within a 20 mile radius must have to commute into the city, as once you leave, the towns and villages are deserted.

No problems with the vignette visibility or not having one for the duration of our stop-over, but the bikes were parked up overnight in the secure apartment garage.

We managed 2200 miles over 9 days, Preston to Portsmouth, Portsmouth-Caen overnight Ferry, Caen to Montlucon via Le Mans in the pissing rain, Montlucon to Puy-en-le-Velay in snow, Puy to Grenoble in rain and sleet, based in Grenoble the sun finally materialised and we managed to do the spectacular Vercors/Royan loop with a quick stop at the resistance memorial, a jaunt up a snowy Alpe D'Huez including a spot of intentional off-roading for the Fazer, then returned home via stop-overs in Avallon and Caen before getting the early Ferry back to blighty for the final leg up the shite that is now the British motorway system

Only problem we encountered was the autoroute Peage system flatly refusing to accept soggy tickets, resulting in mucho fronglaise confusion with a Frenchie on the other side of a squawk box.

Much fun, should have done it sooner, may have a go at putting some photies up later for anyone interested Thumbs Up
