250–300 caravans occupy private land without permission in Saint-André-de-Cubzac

On August 16, around 250–300 caravans occupied a private plot near the Laurent-Ricci sports ground in Saint-André-de-Cubzac, sparking reactions on social media. Mayor Mickaël Courseaux stated that the installation occurred without authorization from the municipality or the owner. The group had initially planned to go to a site in the Arcachon basin but was unable due to fires. Authorities took measures to ensure safety, manage waste, and began discussions for compensation. The mayor also proposed revising the departmental plan for traveler accommodation.

Court lifts camper restrictions in two French communes

An administrative court ruled that height-restricting barriers and camper-specific parking bans in La Faute-sur-Mer and Longeville-sur-Mer (Vendée) are illegal. The barriers in La Faute-sur-Mer must be removed as they were not justified by a real danger. In Longeville-sur-Mer, signs banning campers were invalidated because the pictogram is not in the French Highway Code and the procedure was flawed. The court affirmed that campers are treated as cars for parking but allowed targeted restrictions if properly enacted. France saw 25,629 camper registrations in the 2023-2024 season.

French height barriers to keep motorhomes off regular parking spots often illegal

French municipalities install height barriers to keep motorhomes off regular parking spots, but such measures are not always legal. In 2024, an administrative court in Nantes ordered two municipalities in Vendée (Longeville-sur-Mer and La Faute-sur-Mer) to remove barriers and signs and pay €1,500 each in legal costs to the CLC. However, in April 2026, a court in Bordeaux upheld a parking restriction for motorhomes in Royan, citing road safety and coastal protection. Motorhomes are classified as M1 vehicles, but this does not grant unlimited parking rights, nor does it allow overnight camping outside designated areas.
