Lori Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Yep, saw that in the news yesterday. Have to remind self to get snow chains on next outing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardian Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Yes, but only if you’re heading for somewhere like the Alps. There’s nowhere near you where they’re needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherbanana Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Includes the Massif Central too I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardian Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Yes. At the risk of stating the obvious, the places where you’ll be guaranteed serious snow every winter. No sanctions for non-compliance this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hectorsdad Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Thanks for the link which gives an absolutely clear explanation. I forgot to bring our chains but we are not in or near any affected zone. Interesting to find one of the abbreviations comes from the English language. I.e. “3PMSF” (3 Peak Mountain Snow Flake) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NormanH Posted November 2, 2021 Author Share Posted November 2, 2021 There are some 'border' areas where the requirement can vary. I had a flat in a part of the Ariège that rarely saw snow, but was only 30 minutes from ski slopes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alittlebitfrench Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 (edited) You will need snow chains in the Alpes today. It is absolutely tipping it down here. Cars are sliding all over the place. The first proper snow of the year. Btw.....Feu vert sell a good set for 50 euros which we bought. Might have to try them tomorrow.?
