<h2> Wednesday, May 8: Orange for Departures&nbsp;</h2>
The busiest day was the day before, as forecasts for Tuesday, May 7 were all in red with heavy traffic expected from late morning to late evening. However, on Wednesday, May 8, the traffic alert level is orange nationwide (green for returns). In the Paris region, heavy traffic is predicted on highways A6 and A10 from early morning until late afternoon. It is advised to leave or pass through the Paris region before 7 a.m. and to consider the closing of the A13 at the Paris exit. The roads leading to these highways will also be congested, especially the N104 and the N118.
Throughout the country, it is recommended to avoid the A13 between Orgeval and Rouen from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and between Rouen and Caen...From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., the national route N165 between Nantes and Quimper will be busy, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.; the A10 near Bordeaux from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and between Orléans and Niort from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.; the A63 between Bordeaux and Bayonne from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.; the A7 between Lyon and Orange from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.; the A61 between Toulouse...and Narbonne, from 10am to 4pm, and finally the Mont-Blanc tunnel (N205), between France and Italy, from 7am to 6pm.

Thursday 9 and Friday 10 May: green in both directions
Those clever (deprived of a longer trip, but clever) who will be behind the wheel on Thursday 9 or Friday 10 will have no traffic problems. These two days are classified as green by Bison Futé, and double good news, it applies in both directions, departures and arrivals.

Saturday, May 11: orange in the The meaning of the returns 
On Saturday, May 11, troubles will be back, but in a gradual and orange-colored way. The weekend will come to an end with some traffic jams in the direction of the returns. Bison Futé advises to particularly avoid the A25, between Socx and Lille, from 6pm to 9pm; the A7, between Orange and Lyon, from 1pm to 8pm; the A8, between Aix-en-Provence and Nice, from 11am to 3pm; the A9, between Spain and Narbonne, from 12pm to 6pm; the Mont-Blanc tunnel (N205), between Italy and France, from 1pm to 8pm; and finally, the entire Île-de-France region after 3pm.

Sunday, May 12: red in the direction of the returns
Not surprisingly, Sunday, May 12 will be particularly long for drivers. It is simply the worst of the five days, as it is classified as red. At the national level and even further North-West by Bison Futé. "In general, the return.""Going to bigger cities will definitely lead to traffic jams and delays on main roads all over the country," according to the road information center. But don't worry, my friends! With a little bit of patience, some awesome travel buddies, and a killer playlist, it will fly by before you know it.
