Our advice
- If you are driving between 20 and 22 November, fill up the day before and check that the fuel you need is available.
- On the afternoon of Saturday 21, allow extra time around city centres and march routes.
- At a roadblock on a roundabout, turn back if you can do so safely; never force your way through.
- Check your local prefecture’s orders before setting off.
