EU Directive 2025/2205 of 22 October 2025 allows category B licence holders to drive a motorhome with a maximum authorised mass exceeding 3,500 kg but not exceeding 4,250 kg. The text must first be transposed into French law, with a deadline of up to three years, i.e. by November 2028. Patrick Lablanche, president of the French Federation of Motorhome Associations and Clubs (Ffaccc), stated that application will not occur before 2029, contradicting a report that mentioned November 2027. The directive also envisages that this extension may be subject to targeted training or a medical test.
