France air quality today The AQI right now, city by city

Right now the 39 cities Airleaf measures in France average AQI 42 (good). The worst air is in Perpignan, at AQI 61, and the cleanest in Nancy, at AQI 15. At ground stations alone, which measure rather than estimate, the average is AQI 41 across 34 cities. None of the 39 measured cities is over AQI 100 today, and 72% have Good air.

Perpignan, at AQI 61 (Moderate) on the US EPA index. Unusually sensitive people should consider limiting long outdoor exertion.

Nancy, at AQI 15 (Good). Both lists rank current readings, from ground stations wherever France has at least three cities with one.

It depends on the city. 28 cities are Good, 11 cities are Moderate. At the national average of AQI 42: Air quality is satisfactory for everyone.

About 1.62 million ha from 2001 to 2025, 10% of the forest it had in 2000, from the University of Maryland's yearly satellite maps of forest loss. 78,500 ha of it was cleared for good, for farms, mines or towns.

Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, with 47.8% tree cover within 2 km of its center, measured from Sentinel-2 satellite images.

Each city's reading is the US EPA air quality index, from ground monitoring stations where one has reported recently nearby, and from the CAMS atmospheric model elsewhere; each city's report says which. Tree cover is measured over the same 2 km radius in every city, so the cities compare like for like.
