Around a hundred caravans illegally occupy land in Saint-Molf
© Facebook Saint-Molf – En route pour 2026

On August 9, 2026, around a hundred caravans set up on a municipal plot in Saint-Molf (Loire-Atlantique). Mayor Stéphane Perrard reported illegal electrical connections and a fire risk due to the proximity of a forest. A complaint was filed the same day with the gendarmerie in Guérande, and the state services and Cap Atlantique were informed. Municipal police will begin recording license plates, and a bailiff's report is also planned.

New 20-space motorhome area opens in Dompierre-sur-Mer near La Rochelle

Camping Le Verger in Dompierre-sur-Mer has inaugurated a year-round motorhome area with 20 pitches. The facility was officially opened on August 4 in the presence of the mayor and the president of Charentes Tourisme. The area features hedges between pitches, a central island with a carbet (Creole shelter), picnic tables, a pétanque court, and 300 trees and shrubs. During June, July, and August, the area is integrated into the campsite with access to all services; the rest of the year it operates autonomously via a payment terminal. Rates are €15.50 per night from Easter to All Saints' Day and €12.50 from All Saints' Day to Easter, plus tourist tax. The campsite has no mobile homes or rental accommodations, only pitches for tents, caravans, vans, and motorhomes. 60% of clients are British, Dutch, and German.

Automated campsite in Lot-et-Garonne: new formula on the canal banks

In Meilhan-sur-Garonne, an automated motorhome area operated by Camping-car Park has been open 24/7 since July 1, 2026. The municipality spent €86,000 on modernization, expecting payback in about seven years. A 24-hour stay costs €14.54, with a €5 digital subscription. Some locals and the former manager criticize the system for being impersonal and reducing visitor numbers.

Motorhome area in Villers-Bocage fills up again: what attracts tourists to this Calvados commune

The motorhome area in Villers-Bocage, managed by the Camping-car Park network since late 2024, ranks among the most popular in Normandy, placing 5th out of 36 in customer reviews in 2025. In summer 2026, it regularly filled up, especially on weekends. Tourists highlight its convenient location near the town center, services such as fresh water, waste disposal and toilets, and its position on the route to Mont-Saint-Michel. Some visitors, like a couple from Loire-Atlantique, stay for several days or weeks, appreciating the coolness and welcoming atmosphere of the town.
