Methodology
This barometer is built from automated monitoring of French prefecture appointment pages. For each tracked procedure we regularly record whether slots are open and the date of the first available slot. The indicators (share of open procedures, median wait) are computed across the procedures we monitor and refined as history accumulates.
Indicators are provided for information only, computed automatically and liable to vary between measurements. They are not an official source.
