The commune of Lamballe-Armor in the Côtes-d’Armor department has banned overnight parking of motorhomes on six beachside lots from 10 p.m. to 9 a.m. Mayor Stéphane de Sallier-Dupin said the aim is to prevent permanent overnight parking. Holidaymakers called the measure discriminatory, saying they are forced to use designated areas.

Brittany tightens motorhome parking rules

A French couple, Carinne and Gregory, who have been traveling in a motorhome for six years, have faced new parking restrictions in Brittany. They call the measures dishonest and discriminatory. Some municipalities, including Quiberon and Labamme-Armor, have limited parking time or introduced paid spaces. The Comité de liaison du camping-car association is challenging the legality of such orders, stating that mayors do not have the right to ban motorhome parking.

French village residents oppose motorhome parking project

In Saint-Martin-de-Londres (Hérault), a conflict has erupted over plans to build a motorhome parking area on the site of a former football stadium. Opponents have launched a petition, arguing the stadium is the only freely accessible space for recreation and sports, and citing flood risks and additional soil sealing. The mayor defends the project, estimating potential revenue at €178,000 per season, and promises permeable surfaces and landscaping.

GPS app Gabary for motorhomes and RVs gets update

Developer Gautier Chamoulaud has released an update to Gabary, a GPS app designed for motorhomes and camper vans. The app is now compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing it to be displayed on the vehicle's screen. It uses vehicle dimensions (height, width, weight) to suggest suitable routes and warns about low bridges, narrow roads, and other obstacles using Street View imagery. The update also includes real-time traffic information and the option to avoid highways and tolls.
