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.

Cluses reviews first two months of new motorhome area

Since June 11, the former Cluses campsite has been converted into a motorhome parking area. Two months after reopening, the site is attracting a new audience. Entry is like a standard paid parking lot with an automatic barrier, and a screen shows the number of occupied spaces, also available online. On Saturday, August 8 at 7:30 p.m., 22 of 66 spaces were occupied when a van approached; the driver used a Camping-car park card, the company commissioned by the Cluses Arve et montagne intermunicipal community (2CCAM) to manage the site, and became the 23rd vehicle.
