Dijon ZFE 2026: Legally Created, Its Start Postponed
Zone à Faibles Emissions · France · Postponed — not in force
Source: official source · Verified: 2026-07-24
Not currently — Dijon's ZFE is postponed/suspended and not being enforced. No fines are issued at present; check the official site before travelling.
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.

Dijon’s Zone à Faibles Emissions was legally created but its launch has been postponed, so no vehicle restriction and no fine currently apply here. Crit’Air 0 and Crit’Air 1 vehicles will eventually be exempt once enforcement begins, with weekday hours of 08:00–20:00 planned, but until an official start date is confirmed on the metropole’s own site, any vehicle can drive through Dijon without a sticker or penalty.
