Motorhome fire leads to road closure in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence

25 caravans illegally occupied the annex of the municipal stadium in Commenailles on April 17. The Bresse Jura Foot football club has had to relocate matches and training sessions, and local authorities have filed an injunction with the Besançon court.

A group of approximately 140 caravans, evicted from a parking lot in Périgny on April 15, has moved to an adjacent plot, freeing up the Chamber of Commerce and Industry land. The plot was intended for a major offshore racing hub project, and its temporary occupation caused issues for the local fishing port. The situation was resolved after Enedis installed a secure electrical connection for the encampment. Some occupants plan to leave the site on May 24, but the overall departure date for the entire group remains unclear.

A convoy of around 50 caravans temporarily blocked the exit of the A89 motorway in Lentilly on April 18th while attempting to access a closed rest area. The group forced entry but left the site due to non-functioning facilities at the designated transit parking area.

Motorhome owners in Saint-Malo report significant impact from rising fuel prices on their travel plans. A full tank for a motorhome now costs around 200 euros, forcing some to shorten vacations or alter routes.

A motorhome overturned in a parking lot in the town center of Montembœuf in the Charente department. The driver sustained minor injuries after the vehicle first hit a planter and then struck a central reservation.

75-year-old Alain must vacate a temporary plot in La Queue-en-Brie (Val-de-Marne) by early May. He lives in a 12 m² caravan with two dogs on a pension of 495 euros, while campsite pitches cost 1400 euros per month. The municipality states no land is available, and the plot he occupies is under a promise of sale.
