On the evening of May 20, about 160 caravans with an equal number of towing vehicles occupied a field near La Rochelle airport, opposite the Laleu helicopter base. The group had been evicted from Périgny in mid-April and temporarily relocated to Chef-de-Baie, but left the site early. Entry onto the field, owned by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Charente-Maritime, was made through forced gates; the owner has initiated eviction proceedings. Departure is scheduled for May 31, after which the season of 'grand passages' (150–200 caravans) begins, for which the La Rochelle agglomeration in 2025 provides only one site in Sainte-Soulle.
