Traffic is expected to be difficult on the roads departing from and returning to Île-de-France this weekend, according to Bison Futé.
As part of the holiday return for zone C and the end of school vacations in the Netherlands, Bison Futé issues its traffic forecasts across France. Most of the counters are green, except in the Île-de-France region.
No surprise, as students in the Versailles, Paris, and Créteil academies need to return to finish their school year! Therefore, the counters are at red in the departure direction on Friday and orange on Saturday. On the return, some anticipate departing on Sunday (orange counter) and others prefer to wait until Monday (red counter).
Nationwide, don’t worry; all counters are green this weekend of May 8th. A perfect time to enjoy a long weekend to relax or spend time with family!
Details of Bison Futé forecasts for Île-de-France
In the departure direction
According to Bison Futé, traffic will be very difficult starting late morning Friday. Heading south via the A6 and A10 motorways, difficulties are expected due to Parisian routes (A6b, Périphérique, A86) as motorists begin their holiday travels. The A13 towards Normandy is also likely to experience disruptions. Traffic will remain very heavy until late evening.
Saturday, traffic will stay dense with similar difficulties as on Friday, beginning in the early morning and easing in the early afternoon.
In the return direction
Traffic difficulties will start Sunday, marking the end of the weekend and school vacation for zone C. The A10 and A6 motorways towards Bordeaux-Paris and Lyon-Paris will be quite congested starting in the mid-afternoon, according to Bison Futé. You will feel the effects until late evening.
The counters are at red for Monday in the return direction. Indeed, long weekend travel combined with vacationers returning home will create very heavy traffic. Bison Futé expects very dense traffic from late morning in the Île-de-France region. On the A6, A10, and A13 motorways, patience will be required to get home. Difficulties are projected until late evening.
Moreover, the organization anticipates lengthy wait times at toll booths, so plan your stops accordingly and choose your lane wisely to avoid issues!
