Chaponnay (Rhône)
Around 240 vehicles of the evangelical mission "Vie et Lumière" have occupied the Raymond-Durant municipal park since 31 May. Mayor Nicolas Varigni called it an illegal occupation; police issued between 200 and 300 fines. The mission claims it notified authorities in advance, but the Rhône prefecture says it was not informed. The law requires travellers to stay only on designated sites, which are insufficient in the region — the mayor and the department acknowledge the need for a fifth site.
Castanet-Tolosan (Haute-Garonne)
About a hundred caravans of French travelling people occupied the Fontanelle park since 31 May. The town hall did not expect them, as the group had planned to stop elsewhere. After negotiations involving the prefecture, an agreement was reached for departure on 7 June. The mayor noted that the group is orderly and uses safe connections.
Beaune (Côte-d'Or)
About a hundred caravans of travelling community members occupied Beaune airfield on the morning of 1 June, completely halting flights. Businesses on site estimate losses at over 5,000 euros. A community representative said they could not find a suitable site and called the stay temporary — until 8 June.
