On its forecast map, Bison futé classified the day as black for the Great West and red for the rest of the country. In a statement, the traffic information center warned that “in the direction of departure, traffic will be heavy on all axes, throughout the day.”
There is a traffic jam on the A10 and A63
In the South West, the main disruptions are centered on the A10, with more than 100km of cumulative gridlock and journey times sometimes doubling. It takes 3 hours 30 minutes instead of 2 hours between Bordeaux and Poitiers and 2 hours 55 hours instead of 2 hours 30 minutes between Poitiers and Saint-Arnoult toll. On the A63, great difficulties also on the Spain-Bordeaux direction (3 hours 50 minutes instead of 1 hour 55 minutes).
Bison futé also warns drivers of a “consistent” wait for tolls in Île-de-France.
Sunday was also classified as red by the information center throughout the territory in the direction of returns. Traffic will be very heavy from early morning on the A10 motorway. Leaving the southern regions, congestion is expected on the A7, A9 and A61 motorways starting late in the morning and continuing until late in the evening. In Île-de-France, the return of summer holidays added to weekend ones could make circulation difficult depending on the sector. The A10, A13 and A6 motorways should concentrate these difficulties between the beginning of the afternoon and the end of the evening. The expected traffic at the various toll gates on this day could result in relatively long transit times.
