The commune of Saint James in the Manche department is creating two motorhome service areas.

On July 19, 2026, around 7:30 a.m., a car towing a caravan struck a concrete barrier at the entrance to the Portes-lès-Valence Ouest rest area on the A7 motorway. An 8-year-old girl suffered minor injuries from her seatbelt and was taken to hospital. The German father, the driver, had a slight shin wound. Drug and alcohol tests were negative. The accident caused a 9 km traffic jam.
Since July 14, a private plot in Vence (Alpes-Maritimes) has been illegally occupied by caravans, growing from two to six. The mayor has contacted the prefect and prosecutor, noting the land is in a red fire-risk zone and that temporary residents have tapped into a fire hydrant for water. Similar illegal encampments are rising across France: in Saint-Nazaire, about 300 caravans occupied farmland; in Savoie, 200 caravans settled on a private agricultural field.
The rise of caravan and tiny house living is reshaping the home appliance industry, shifting demand from large kitchen units to compact, portable technologies. French company Daan Tech has introduced the BOB Mini dishwasher, measuring 34 cm wide and weighing 10 kg, with a 3.9 L integrated water tank that eliminates the need for a fixed water connection. It uses 2.9 L of water and 0.43 kWh per cycle, washes dishes in 20 minutes, and is designed for caravans, boats, campsites, and small apartments.
A family of four from eastern Germany is touring Brittany in a motorhome.
