Chamonix mayor François-Xavier Laffen has announced a decree banning the parking of campervans and motorhomes outside specially designated areas. The measure will take effect in the coming days after publication and will be in force from June 1 to October 31.
The decision follows numerous complaints from residents about unsanitary conditions and public order disturbances. According to sources, locals report that tourists "leave excrement everywhere in nature." Violators face fines, with repeat offenders facing stricter penalties.
