The ZFE names Lyon, the parts of Caluire-et-Cuire, Villeurbanne, Bron and Vénissieux inside the ring road, the M6 and M7, the northern ring road and the Laurent Bonnevay ring road.
The airport is not in that list. Still have the sticker before you enter those roads or those communes.

That applies while driving and while parked, seven days a week and 24 hours a day.
Without the required sticker, or with a banned vehicle, the fine is €68 for a motorcycle, a car or a light van, and €135 for a lorry or a coach.
Order the sticker on certificat-air.gouv.fr before you leave if the car does not already have one.
