Saturday April 15 : The traffic will be dense in the direction of returns on the A39 from Bourg-en-Bresse in the direction of Dijon then on the A31 towards the East of France. The A6 from and to Lyon will also experience heavy traffic for much of the day in both directions.

The advice of Infos-Dijon
