All Saints’ Day holidays: what to expect on the roads for this first weekend of vacation? Here are the forecasts

The first rest since the summer holidays are fast approaching. From the evening of Friday October 18, 2024, the All Saints’ Day holidays will bring life to France. What to expect on the country’s roads?

Difficulties Friday

As reported by Bison Futé in its traditional bulletin, it’s Friday which should be the most impacted by the slowdowns, in the direction of departures. And these will be very isolated, since they will only concern the former Languedoc-Roussillon, the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region and finally Île-de-France. These three sectors are in Orange: the expected traffic is difficult.

Here is the recommendations you service :

• leave or cross Île-de-France before 2 p.m.,
• avoid the A7 motorway, between Orange and Marseille, from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m.,
• avoid the A8 motorway, between Aix-en-Provence and Italy, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.,
• avoid the A9 motorway, between Nîmes and Montpellier, from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.

And for the rest of the weekend?

Still according to Bison Futé, Saturday and Sunday must be relatively quiet on the roads : the service provides a usual traffic throughout the country, whether in the direction of departures or returns.

Note that at the time of writing these lines, the whole of France should also remain at the green level on the roads during the first week of rest. For the moment, Bison Futé plans difficult or even very difficult traffic in the country for Friday October 25, 2024.
