This scheme requires vehicles to have an emissions sticker clearly visible on the windscreen. The penalty for not displaying one is an on-the-spot fine of between €68 and €135.
You have been warned!

I believe that they are only required to enter the city centres of Paris, Lyon and Grenoble.

Very good.
Excerpt from the above link:
"Windscreen stickers which show a vehicle’s emissions levels have become a legal requirement in several key French cities including Paris.
British drivers heading to the France capital are advised by the RAC that driving without a France 'clean air' sticker – which costs as little as £3.20 – makes them culpable for an on-the-spot fine of up to £117.
Drivers of non-French-registered vehicles though, have been offered a degree of leniency – given until March 31 to fully comply with the Crit’Air initiative. An English language section of the government website responsible for stickers launches on February 1.
The scheme in Paris began on January 15, while those in Lyon and Grenoble have been running since the start of the year."

What's the betting that les flics try it on enroute, or that Le Mans decides to temporarily introduce it for race week.

I've been ploughing through the legislation with my school boy French and google translate.  It seems there is an exemption/was an exemption made for classic cars (ie older than 30yrs) on the previous restrictions in Paris but I can't find any info on how that would translate to non-french registered vehicles under this new scheme.  Will no doubt have to wait and see until 1 Feb for the new website to go live to see what the options are.

Had a chat with John Stevens if they would apply to the Périphérique, his view, as is mine, how could they enforce it?
Without seeing further details I think its only inside the Périphérique that it would apply.
So getting to either Paris airport would not be a problem.
We shall see when further details emerge.

To be honest, for the minimal cost, it's worth just getting and then checking if any restrictions apply in the area you're going to.  I am cpz I never quite know where we'll end up next.

1 Feb for UK ones apparently so you'll have to wait until midnight!

Sis in Law used to live in the middle of Paris and for a couple of Euros I'll get one as there is something about driving round the Arc de Triomphe if you can!
