Bison Futé Predicts Heavy Traffic in Île-de-France and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes During Spring Holidays
French state services, specifically Bison Futé, have issued traffic warnings for the upcoming spring holiday weekend, predicting significant road disruptions in the Île-de-France and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes regions. The congestion is driven by overlapping school vacation schedules across different zones, with Friday, April 17, and Saturday, April 18, identified as the most critical days. On Friday, Île-de-France faces orange-level traffic for departures, particularly on the A10 and A6 motorways, while Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes experiences heavy return traffic on the A7, A41, A43, A46, and A48 highways. Saturday’s difficulties are confined to Île-de-France, with intense departure traffic expected on the A10 and A6 from morning until mid-afternoon. In contrast, return journeys on Saturday and all travel on Sunday, April 19, are expected to remain calm. Motorists are advised to plan accordingly, avoiding peak hours on specified routes to mitigate delays. This advisory highlights the seasonal strain on French infrastructure during staggered academic breaks.
