In Brief

On 22–23 April, about 60 caravans of travellers occupied a sports field in Parempuyre. The mayor signed a 15-day agreement including a voluntary contribution to the CCAS.

On 22–23 April, around 60 caravans of travellers occupied the sports field and an adjacent plot in Parempuyre (Gironde). Mayor Henri Lagarrigue reached an agreement with the community allowing them to stay for a maximum of 15 days. Under the deal, the community will make a voluntary donation to the municipal CCAS (Social Action Centre). Bordeaux Métropole provided waste containers.

Community representative Antoine Flores said the move was prompted by unsatisfactory conditions at the previous site. He also highlighted a shortage of equipped stopping areas for travellers in the Bordeaux region due to incomplete implementation of the Besson law.

La Rochelle: Caravans have left the CCI plot in Chef-de-Baie

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.
