This is absolutely correct -
If you use a Tomtom satnav they do not provide this info via their service & it is "certified legal" in France (n.b. it does warn of "danger zones") Probably other satnav makers - and possibly even your 'phone provider? it might be worth looking into - take the same approach.

Sounds like you plan to avoid big cities but low emissions zones are something else to be wary of. France has fixed zones in certain cities but also can impose temporary restrictions more or less on a whim and with no prior notice. This remains something of a grey area in my opinion - you might get away with it, or you might get slapped with a fine. I'm not sure what you are supposed to do when you have a ferry to catch.
You must also take care if you carry food across the channel as animal and vegetable products are now banned from import - I suggest you look up what is allowed as there are a few things you can carry (e.g. bananas!)
Sadly we are reverting slowly to a mediaeval arrangement where every bridge you cross will have a man with a pike demanding a groat or sending you to the town hall to apply for permission.
- French law prohibits drivers from devices capable of detecting speed cameras and warning drivers of their location.
- Penalties can include fines of up to €1,500 and confiscation of the device and vehicle.
