The low-emission zone of Dijon

As already indicated, there are no restrictions in Dijon and anyone can drive within the low-emission zone or zone à faibles émissions (ZFE) of the Dijon Metropole. The zone was introduced because it was required by the French government. Because air quality in Dijon has been excellent since 2019, no fines follow for those who enter the low-emission zone without an emissions sticker.
