Volkswagen unveiled the ID. California Cruise electric camper concept: 86 kWh and 455 km of range, production by 2028. Plus: Chamonix bans overnight stays.
Two years on the road with a cat named Zhuzu — and not a single day of wanting to go back. We break down life in a camper van: where to find water, how heating works, what to do about electricity, and where to look for overnight spots. 7 countries, hundreds of places, and an honest account — from the mountain roads of Turkey to the coastline of Montenegro.
Comprehensive review of all RV and camper toilet types: cassette, portable, gravity, vacuum, macerating, dry flush, sealing, incinerating, composting and separating. Comparison of models, consumables, installation and annual costs.
About 25 caravans from the traveling community set up on the training football pitch in Vouneuil-sur-Vienne on May 24, 2026, without permission. The municipality condemned the illegal occupation of public land and contacted the prefecture to order the owners to leave. Authorities are not expected to forcibly remove them before May 31, when the group plans to depart.

In three French communes — Seyssinet, Combrit-Sainte-Marine and Avoine — groups of travelers illegally parked caravans on sports and agricultural land. Authorities are responding.
Despite a 2014 municipal decree banning overnight parking and camping at Place Miot and other sites in Ajaccio, tourists continue to park there, causing frustration among locals. The municipal police have been instructed to ask vehicle owners to leave and issue fines if necessary. The park4night app lists these prohibited spots, but user comments suggest enforcement is inconsistent.
Around 230 caravans have illegally set up on a dune in Morbihan. The mayor can issue a formal notice to leave, then take the matter to court. The final decision on eviction rests with the prefect, who is authorized to deploy law enforcement.
On August 16, 2026, several dozen caravans and cars were set up on three plots in the Paleficat district of Toulouse, near the Paleficat college and along the Florence-Arthaud boulevard. Toulouse Métropole stated that one of the plots belongs to the local authority and that an eviction procedure will be launched shortly. This is not the first illegal installation in the area; a similar one occurred in 2025.
German tourist Ruth W. had to flee a wildfire in the Pas-de-Calais region of France on August 12. She criticizes the management of the Cristal d'Opale campsite for lack of organization and information during the evacuation. According to her, there were no announcements in English, and the emergency shelter indicated by authorities did not exist. Despite the incident, Ruth decided to continue her vacation but keeps her belongings ready in case of another evacuation.
A court ordered the communes of La Faute-sur-Mer and Longeville-sur-Mer in Vendée to remove barriers and signs restricting motorhome access and parking. The barriers were deemed illegal as they are designed to prevent danger, not to restrict access to a parking lot. Signs banning motorhomes have no official status under French road rules. The court also ruled that parking bans on motorhomes can only be enforced with a proper municipal decree.
On Sunday afternoon, 65 caravans occupied the football field in Saint-Lyé. Most occupants are local travelers who left official sites of Troyes Champagne Métropole. Mayor Karim Hellal chose dialogue over legal action, agreeing to a 15-day stay with access to water and electricity in exchange for promises to restore the site and pay compensation.
