In Brief

A travelers' site in Aubagne celebrates 35 years, while in Bléré 150 caravans face eviction, and in Vaucluse hundreds of caravans occupy football fields.

The travelers' site in Aubagne (Bouches-du-Rhône) celebrated its 35th anniversary. Opened in 1991, nine years before the Besson II law, it pioneered the reception of nomadic populations. On opening day, 150 caravans arrived for 25 spaces. Now managed by LVD Environnement, it houses 15 families, many spanning several generations.

Meanwhile, in Bléré (Indre-et-Loire), the prefect signed an eviction order for about 150 caravans that illegally occupied a plot on June 1, 2026. Notice was served on June 4, with a voluntary departure deadline of June 5 at 4:00 PM. No negotiations took place.

In Châteauneuf-de-Gadagne (Vaucluse), around 100–200 caravans settled on two football fields of SC Gadagne. Representatives of the "Vie et Lumière" mission promise to leave within two weeks. The club has canceled several events, and its president fears serious damage to the turf.
