Bison Futé forecasts for this first weekend of July

Even if the school holidays have not yet officially started, traffic will already be busy on this first weekend of July. Bison Futé is planning an orange weekend at the national level and even red in Île-de-France where traffic will be heavy on Friday towards the toll gates of the A10 and A6 motorways. The first slowdowns could be recorded from the end of the morning. The Boulevard Périphérique and the A86 and A6b motorways will also be affected by these difficulties. In the middle of the afternoon, the combination of work-home journeys and weekend departures, numerous during this period, could make traffic very difficult until late in the evening.
