How often are French air protection zones (ZPA) in effect?

I've searched a little and found one activation of the Parisian ZPA.

(And that's basically what I remember, as I live in Paris).

Unfortunately, it does not appears appears in the website you gave (it shows a text stating there was an alert, but does not update the pictures). So I will not trust it for old values. And it is almost impossible to guess future one.
Basically this site is more useful for ZCR information.

Before it was ZPA and crit'air, i remember two or three 'alternate driving' event in Paris.

On the other hand, most ZPA are quite new, and 2017 was not a very hot year. So we don't have enough data enough to predict what will happen in June.

A silver lining however : ZPA restriction only happens at the 4th or 5th day of the pollution alerts. So if you stay tuned to the news, you should know if there a risk a few days in advance, and might adapt your trip accordingly.

Additionally you can configure Waze to manage ZPA an ZCR.
