Berger Loisirs launches four new product lines for motorhomes and campervans

In the Haute-Loire department, retired farmers are renting out former agricultural buildings for storing motorhomes and caravans. One farmer, Antoine, uses an 800 sqm barn to store ten motorhomes and one caravan year-round. According to Joris Baco, co-founder of Monhangar.fr, about 40% of farmers seek additional income, and vehicle storage is one of the least time-consuming options. The peak season for such services runs from June to late November.

A 28-year-old man living in a motorhome in Nord-Isère was found guilty of corrupting a minor. The child's mother filed a complaint in September 2025, expressing concern about the father's regular alcohol and cocaine use. On June 11, the court ordered socio-judicial monitoring with mandatory treatment.

Françoise Gularek, after retiring, converted an old van into a mobile sewing workshop. She now operates on three markets in Lot-et-Garonne, offering clothing repair services.

On June 11, a car with a caravan was surrounded by water on the flooded Passage du Gois road in Vendée, France. The driver managed to reach dry land, and rescuers evacuated the vehicle.

Amy Edwards, 40, along with her husband and five children, left the UK to travel Europe in a motorhome. The family bought the vehicle in July 2025, visited Wales, and then moved to France. Plans include Spain and Portugal. Amy homeschools the children, calling the British school system 'too rigid'.

As part of the 'Partir en Livre' initiative, sound storytelling sessions are held in the La Grande Illusion caravan in Haut-Béarn. Children select an object from 18 compartments, and a volunteer storyteller, alongside sound engineer Mario Bompart, creates a live radio play with sound effects and music. Each session is recorded and emailed to families. Events take place at libraries in Ogeu-les-Bains, Agnos, Aren, and Gurmençon from June 17 to 25.
