All Saints' Day traffic forecast

For the weekend of All Saints' Day, traffic is expected to be very heavy in parts of France, particularly as school holidays end in Belgium and begin in Luxembourg. Bison Futé, a traffic forecasting service, has classified Friday, October 30, as "orange at the national level" for both departure and return traffic.

Heavy traffic in northern and coastal regions

On Friday, October 30, the northern part of the country, the Atlantic coast, the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, and the Mediterranean arc will experience strong disruptions from the afternoon into the evening. In Île-de-France, the combination of departures, returns, and home-work commutes will make traffic very difficult until the beginning of the evening.

Departure traffic recommendations

Bison Futé advises travelers heading out on Friday to leave or cross Île-de-France before 10 a.m. or after 9 p.m. Specific motorways and roads are expected to be heavily congested at certain times, and the forecast lists several routes to avoid during peak hours.

Return traffic recommendations

For those returning on the same day, Bison Futé recommends reaching or crossing Île-de-France before 2 p.m. or after 7 p.m. Several motorways and national roads are expected to be heavily congested in the afternoon, with specific time windows for avoiding traffic.

Weekend traffic outlook

Traffic in the departure direction is expected to return to normal levels across the entire country on Saturday, October 31, and Sunday, November 1. However, return traffic in Île-de-France remains classified as orange on these days, while other areas of the country are green.

Saturday and Sunday return traffic details

In the afternoon of Saturday, traffic will be heavy in the Paris region, especially on the A10 motorway. Travelers are advised to return to the region before 1 p.m. or after 8 p.m. On Sunday, significant slowdowns are expected at toll barriers on the A6, A10, and A13 motorways, with return traffic peaking early in the afternoon.
