Motorhome owner fined for unpaid toll 6 years later

In May 2026, French motorhome owner Michel received a letter from Italian debt collection company Nivi S.p.A. demanding €119.36 for an unpaid toll in Genoa from September 2020. Michel claims he paid €80.50 on the spot and provided bank statements as evidence. Under Italian law, the statute of limitations for such debts is 10 years, and EU Directive 2019/520 has facilitated cross-border data exchange, leading to an increase in such claims years after travel.

Vanecdotes podcast recounts three-year motorhome journey with grandmother

In a new episode of the Vanecdotes podcast, Fiona Lauriol and her parents describe how in 2017 they removed Fiona's grandmother from a care home in the Paris region, where doctors had given her a week to live, and set off in a used 4.85-metre Hymer coachbuilt motorhome. The promised week turned into three years, three months and three weeks on the road. Inside, Fiona slept in the over-cab bed while the dinette converted each evening into a bed for her grandmother. The family now gives talks against the isolation of elderly people.

France allows sale of summer diesel until 15 November amid fuel price rise

French authorities have temporarily authorised the sale of summer-grade diesel until 15 November due to supply disruptions linked to the situation in the Middle East. According to a decree published on Tuesday, the maximum filterability limit temperature for diesel is raised from -15 °C to 0 °C. Motorhome owners such as Christine and Joseph Fancellu from Saône-et-Loire have seen fuel prices rise from 1.65 euro to 2.35 euro per litre and were forced to shorten their route, cancelling a trip to Finistère.

Motorhome travel remains popular in Préfailles despite fuel price surge

The motorhome stopover in Préfailles (Loire-Atlantique) is full even in late September amid rising petrol prices in France. Holidaymakers are shortening trips or distances: a Nantes resident, Marie-Louise, came with her husband for three days instead of a longer stay, and Daniel now travels for a few days rather than several months. Belgians Corinne and Pierrot are on a three-week tour of France, avoiding toll motorways to stay within budget.
