Pleumartin: 50 caravans illegally occupy stadium
Original source: lanouvellerepublique.fr

In Brief

Around 50 caravans with 300 people illegally set up on the stadium in Pleumartin. The mayor condemned unauthorized water and electricity hookups; a complaint is being considered.

On Saturday, August 8, 2026, around 50 caravans with about 300 people illegally occupied the football field in Pleumartin (Vienne department). Mayor Éric Bailly and the gendarmerie arrived on site. Group representatives said they would stay for a week and leave next Sunday for Paris, promising to leave the area clean and pay for expenses.

However, three illegal connections were found: two to the water supply (to a fire hydrant and a drinking water tap) and one to electricity at a pole powering the stadium. The municipality is considering filing a complaint with the gendarmerie to obtain an eviction order or issuing a parking ban order.

Inside, mattresses, candles, matches, and cigarette butts were found, raising fire risk near the forest. Authorities cannot identify the owner due to a missing license plate. Abandoning a vehicle can result in a fine of up to 1,500 euros.
