On May 31, 2026, approximately 150 caravans of Travellers occupied the Fayence-Tourrettes airfield in the Var department. Mayor Olivier Baïlé stated that a temporary accommodation proposed by authorities on the southern part of the runway was rejected by the group, which then returned to the site used in previous years. This threatens the French gliding championship scheduled for June 16–20. The Pays de Fayence community of communes has not yet established an official large transit area, complicating eviction; authorities pledge to resolve the issue within 24 months.
