All Saints’ Day festivities: an intense Friday on the roads of France

Traffic will be more intense than usual starting this Friday, October 25, with the start of the second week of the All Saints’ holiday. A weekend that will mark the beginning of the school holidays in Luxembourg and the northern and central parts of the Netherlands and the end of the holidays in Belgium and the southern part of the Netherlands. Enough to add additional slowdowns, especially in the eastern half of France.

A red Friday in Ile-de-France

On Friday it is classified orange by Bison Futé at the national level and red in Ile-de-France.

The traffic forecast service foresees difficulties starting late in the morning in the northeastern neighborhood (A25, A31 and A35), on the Mediterranean coast (A7) and in the Paris region (ring road and motorways A86 and A6B). Increased traffic at the end of the day with the flow of travel between work and home.

A slightly less busy Saturday

On Saturday, October 26, it returns to green nationwide. But Île-de-France is still classified as orange in terms of Bison Futé departures.

In particular, we should expect greater congestion than usual in the direction of the various tolls, especially on the A10 and A6 motorways.

Bison Futé’s only advice for this Saturday, October 26: leave or cross Île-de-France before 8 am or after 3 pm.
