In Brief

The prefecture of Meurthe-et-Moselle has authorized 250 caravans to park temporarily at the Chanteux-Croixmar airfield until August 3. Earlier, the same group occupied a private field in Savoie.

The prefect of Meurthe-et-Moselle issued a decree allowing a group of travelers to set up 250 caravans on a temporary site at the Chanteux-Croixmar airfield near Lunéville. The authorization is valid until August 3, 2026, and deviates from the usual capacity of 150 caravans. Earlier, in June 2026, about 250 caravans without warning occupied a private agricultural field in the commune of Entrelac (Savoie). The Entrelac town hall contacted the prefecture and the agglomeration to arrange waste containers and address water supply concerns, which could be strained. The group was expected to stay for several days.
