Caravans illegally occupy two stadiums in France, football clubs affected

In Brief

Two groups of caravans have illegally occupied municipal stadiums in Commenailles and Chalon-sur-Saône. In Commenailles, the football club must reschedule matches; in Chalon-sur-Saône, a legal challenge has been filed against the eviction order.

Two separate incidents of illegal occupation of municipal sports facilities by caravans have been reported in France.

Commenailles (Jura department)

25 caravans occupied the grounds of the municipal stadium on April 17. The football club Bresse Jura Foot has been forced to reschedule matches and training sessions. Local authorities have filed a lawsuit with the Besançon court.

Chalon-sur-Saône (Stade Léo-Lagrange)

Several dozen caravans remain at the Stade Léo-Lagrange despite a prefectural order to vacate by April 15. The community's lawyer has filed a legal challenge against the order, temporarily blocking forced eviction. The traveller community has stated its intention to stay for two weeks.

Near Bordeaux, 60 caravans block the city's sports complex: 'We won't let go'

On April 22, 2026, 60 caravans of travelling people illegally occupied the Léo Lagrange sports field in Parempuyre near Bordeaux. Mayor Henri Lagarrigue set a non-negotiable deadline of 15 days for evacuation, demanded absolute cleanliness, and requested a financial contribution to the municipal social center. The occupation occurred due to the delayed opening of designated areas by Bordeaux Métropole, which are unavailable until May.
