Jackery renews its solar generator range for motorhomes

Amy Edwards, 40, from Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, has moved into a motorhome with her husband and five younger children to travel and homeschool in Europe. Older children were taken out of school after the pandemic; younger ones never attended. The family plans to visit Spain and Portugal and eventually buy land for farming.

Since May, the Decazeville community has deployed a mobile reception unit based on a motorhome to improve access to services. Residents can receive individual support and participate in group activities on key topics. The service is free and does not require registration.

In Fareins (Ain department), about 15 caravans illegally occupied a football field used by Fareins Saône Vallée Foot club. The club suspended training indefinitely, citing risks of infrastructure damage and disruption of a veterans tournament. Earlier, around 200 caravans were reported on a field in Saint-André-de-Corcy.

On Tuesday, a police operation in Castres (Tarn) aimed to disconnect water and electricity at an illegal camp housing about 100 caravans. Mayor Florian Azéma announced a complaint after municipal agents received death threats and reported damage to urban furniture. A court decision is still pending.

A French couple has been traveling in a motorhome for 30 seasons, following cycling races. They stop on the climb at Saint-Vidal to watch the competitions. This is an example of a long-term passion, not a one-time trip.

About a hundred caravans belonging to the travelling community, illegally parked on the Chênaie site, left the area on Sunday, June 7, in the afternoon. The departure was calm. Mayor Marie-Agnès Ménoret Ultra, accompanied by her deputy Claude Grangé, visited the site to witness the departure. While some litter remained on the wooded terrain, most waste was placed in or near containers. On Monday morning, municipal workers began cleaning: they filled containers, and the garbage truck made several trips to remove waste. Bulky items, such as chairs and a washing machine, were loaded into the municipal dump truck and taken to the landfill.
