On most major routes and “especially on Friday and Saturday”, motorists will have to be patient.
This weekend of July 8 and 9 marks the official start of summer vacation in France. A date synonymous, for many, with departures… But also with major traffic jams across the territory. According to Smart Bison«traffic will be heavy on most major routes […]especially on Friday and Saturday“. The majority of journeys will be made bynorthwest directionfrom Ile-de-France. “These are mainly French motorists who take their holidays from the start of the summer to take advantage of less frequentation, but also foreign tourists from neighboring countries.“, Specifies the government service.
Friday, July 7, traffic will be heavy in the direction of departures. The entire territory is classified as orange, with the exception of the Île-de-France region, which is classified as red. In this territory,traffic will be heavy towards the toll gates of the A10 and A6 motorways“. To avoid slowing too much, Smart Bison advises to attack the roads before “late morning“. These tips are also valid forA7 and A50 motorwaysin the provinces. In addition, traffic should be “very difficult until late in the evening».
Motorists are invited to leave Île-de-France and major cities before noon, and avoid certain axes, such as the A31, A63 or A7 during the afternoon.

After a Friday classified as orange, the Saturday July 8 will also be charged. That day, “the difficulties in the direction of the departures will be the most important of the weekend“Warns smart Bison, who classifies France in orange and the northwestern part of the country in red, in the direction of departures. The plugs will start”early in the morning», in particular on the A6 and the A10.
«From the middle of the morning, the traffic will intensify markedly and it is the main radials and bypasses which converge towards [l’A6 et l’A10] which could in turn experience more or less significant traffic difficulties depending on the sector“, notes the service. The A13 should also be affected. It would therefore be better to leave Île-de-France “before 5amin the morning, and avoid certain roads such as the A31, A11, A63 or A7 between late morning and early afternoon.
