Even if the school holidays only officially start on July 7, 2022, some are already on their way. Bison futé announces heavy traffic for this 1st weekend of July. Here are the detailed forecasts and advice to better understand your trip.
It’s almost school holidays! So officially schoolchildren still have to wait a week, until Thursday July 7, to close their notebooks, some parents have already planned to go on vacation this weekend. Take a look at the forecasts of Bison futé which announce heavy traffic throughout the territory.
Heavy traffic Friday 1er and Saturday July 2
This Friday 1er July, the roads are likely to be busy, even very busy in Ile-de-France, from the end of the morning towards the toll gates of the A10 and A6 motorways. At the end of the afternoon, the combination of commuting and holiday departures could further disrupt traffic, especially on peripheral routes such as the A86 and the A6b. In addition, the presence of tourists from abroad could densify the traffic. Especially the Belgians, for whom the holidays officially start this weekend.
Friday 1er July, here are the tips from Bison Futé:
- leave or cross Île-de-France and major cities before 12 p.m.;
- leave or cross Île-de-France before 12 noon;
- avoid leaving metropolitan areas and their outskirts between 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.;
- avoid the A10 motorway between Orléans and Poitiers, from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.;
- avoid the A63 motorway between Bordeaux and Bayonne, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.;

A complicated Sunday in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region

A nerve center of the road network where motorists meet to leave for the Mediterranean basin or the Alps. Bison futé recommends avoiding the A7 motorway between Lyon and Marseille, from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
