A judge at the administrative court of Bordeaux ordered a man who had illegally set up a caravan, chickens and a barbecue on the sports field in Saint-Sauveur (Gironde) to vacate the premises. The neighboring commune of Pauillac, which owns the land, filed a complaint on July 17, 2026, arguing that the site was intended for sports activities and that the camp posed a fire risk. The judge noted the presence of fire pits, unauthorized electrical connections, and unsanitary conditions, including chickens and a vegetable garden. The occupant, who did not appear in court, must leave immediately and pay 288 euros in legal costs.
