In Brief

About 380 caravans left a field in Guewenheim (Haut-Rhin) after a court ruling. The evacuation went smoothly due to a threat to the water supply of 42,000 people.

About 380 caravans belonging to travelers left a field in Guewenheim (Haut-Rhin) on June 25, 2026, after the administrative court of Strasbourg rejected an appeal by group representatives. The court upheld the prefecture's evacuation order due to an illegal installation near a protected drinking water catchment zone.

The evacuation went without incident, with travelers leaving before gendarmes arrived. The prefecture noted that the site posed a threat to the water supply of 42,000 people during a heatwave. It also highlighted the need to implement the departmental traveler reception plan for 2024–2029, which is not yet fully implemented in the northern part of the department.

Belgian family stranded in Argentina due to motorhome software error

A Belgian family with four children has been stranded in Argentina for weeks during their South American trip. The motorhome's engine is in a limited emergency mode due to a fault code that local mechanics cannot read or reset because of locked European manufacturer software. The manufacturer states the code can only be cleared at a specific Volkswagen factory located 867 kilometers away.

The plush cars and campervans sunk on Gwynedd graveyard beach in 2025

Vehicle strandings at Traeth y Graig Ddu beach in Gwynedd increased significantly in 2025, with an estimated 30 cars and motorhomes recovered. A local farmer using a tractor performed most rescues as drivers, often from cities, misjudged the rapid tides and parked too low on the sand. Approximately one-third of the vehicles were submerged by seawater, leading to likely insurance write-offs.
