In Brief
Around 150 caravans illegally occupied football pitches in Saint-Nolff, connecting to water and electricity. The prefecture ordered them to leave within 48 hours.
On Monday, August 3, 2026, around 150 caravans illegally settled on the football pitches at Bel-Orient in Saint-Nolff (Morbihan). Some sources report about a hundred caravans, others about 150. The municipality filed a request for eviction with the prefecture of Morbihan.
The caravans connected to electricity and water, blocking access to a fire hydrant. The prefecture issued an order requiring them to leave within 48 hours.
Earlier, on July 24, more than 280 caravans expelled from the commune of Givrand (Vendée) headed towards Guérande (Loire-Atlantique). Prefect Laurent Otto ordered measures to prevent illegal encampments. The gendarmerie prevented 20 attempts to set up on public and private land, as well as 6 installations that had begun. 104 traffic violations were recorded, including 97 obstructions. The last site, a commercial zone, had to be cleared for safety reasons, and an eviction procedure was initiated.

Freya Gill and Charlie Thackwray, both 29, moved into a caravan parked in Charlie's mother's garden to save on rent. After a year in the older caravan, they bought an Elddis Crusader for around €4,800, then in June 2025 switched to a more modern Adria Adora costing €19,000. Living in the caravan allowed them to save nearly €24,000 toward buying land to build a house and farm. Monthly costs include about €180 for the plot, €65 for fuel, €155 for financing and €420 for food; they pay no council tax or water bills, and gas refills cost about €95 when needed.
