In Brief

Marseille Rugby Méditerranée says over 80 motorhomes have occupied its fields in Saint-Menet, preventing 650 players from training. The club says this happens every summer and authorities fail to act.

Marseille Rugby Méditerranée has reported that its fields in Saint-Menet are occupied by more than 80 motorhomes (one source says caravans), preventing 650 players and staff from training. The club president noted this occurs every summer, and authorities have not resolved the issue.

Previously, around 100 motorhomes occupied the fields, and changing rooms were damaged; repairs after earlier incidents took several months. The club criticizes the municipality and the metropolis for shifting responsibility and urges authorities to act. One source quotes an ironic remark: "All that's missing is sending them an invitation to the campsite."

Galicia sees rise in campervan projects amid night-stay ban disputes

Local authorities describe the situation as an "invasion" and cite ecological concerns, while caravanning associations argue the measures are discriminatory and call for more serviced parking areas.
