Heading for the holidays! From this Friday, children attending the academies of Créteil, Montpellier, Paris, Toulouse and Versailles will be the first to benefit from a well-deserved rest, after six weeks of classes. But going on vacation will mean slowing down on the roads, as predicted by Bison Futé which classifies Friday and Saturday in orange when departing from Paris.
From late Friday afternoon, vacationers in zone C will experience traffic difficulties, departing from Île-de-France.
