Colmar ZFE 2026: No Zone Exists, Skip the EUR 5.11 Disc
Zone à Faibles Emissions · France · Announced but never introduced
Source: official source · Verified: 2026-09-27
No — Colmar has no ZFE in force in 2026, so no Crit'Air disc, permit or fine applies. But check the rest of your French route: the cities that do run a ZFE still fine an unstickered car.
Didn’t France abolish its low-emission zones?
No — the repeal never took effect. Parliament did vote in April 2026 to abolish France’s ZFEs, which is why so many guides and news reports say they are gone. The Conseil constitutionnel struck that article down on 21 May 2026 (décision n° 2026-903 DC), so the ZFE provisions of the code général des collectivités territoriales (articles L. 2213-4-1 and L. 2213-4-2) stayed on the books.
One caveat most coverage misses: the article was annulled on procedure, not on its merits — the Council held it was a “cavalier législatif”, an amendment with no link to the bill it was attached to (Constitution, art. 45). Parliament can pass the same repeal again in a properly related bill, so this is settled for now rather than settled for good. Read the decision.

This zone is not in force — no vehicle check applies
Colmar does NOT have a ZFE. It appears on neither the official Bison Futé government ZFE portal nor the ecologie.gouv.fr regulatory ZFE list (01/01/2025), and is absent from 2026 active-zone roundups.

Colmar does not appear on France’s official ZFE registers — neither the government’s Bison Futé portal nor the ecologie.gouv.fr regulatory list dated 01/01/2025 includes it. So there is no Crit’Air threshold to meet here in 2026, no EUR 5.11 vignette to buy for this town and no fine to pay: the restriction simply does not exist.
Your case: Colmar is clear, but the Crit’Air rule bites hard in the French cities that do operate a ZFE, so run your own fuel type, registration year and Euro class through the emission zone checker for every town you actually stop in, not for this one.
