B License for 4.25 Tons: Why You Won't Benefit This Summer

In the commune of Saint-André-de-Corcy (Ain department), 135 caravans occupied the area last Sunday. Local authorities stated they were faced with a fait accompli. Life in the commune has been paralyzed; details are being clarified.

A fair scheduled for June 7 at the Plaquette stadium in Louviers has been postponed. The field is currently occupied by several dozen caravans. Organizers stated that the travelers have committed to leaving by the end of the week, but the event was rescheduled in case of delays. A new date will be announced later.

The municipality of Rouy-le-Grand (Somme) has ordered fishermen to remove their caravans from communal ponds by early July. The decision is based on the prohibition of using natural areas for housing, as a caravan is legally considered a dwelling. Fishermen, who have been parking there for decades, are requesting a one-year delay to find alternatives.

Multiple illegal encampments of travelers' caravans have been reported in several French departments. Stadiums, a racetrack, and an airfield have been occupied, causing event cancellations and financial losses. Mayors demand eviction.

The municipality of Grandvilliers (Oise) has launched a feasibility study to relocate its motorhome parking area. The new site is planned near the leisure zone, with construction expected to start in 2027.

The mayor of Vétraz-Monthoux expressed dissatisfaction after about 40 caravans were parked on the grounds of the Collège de la Géline. The caravans are placed around staff housing and on the sports field. The president of the Annemasse agglomeration has requested the prefecture to initiate forced eviction, citing a feeling of insecurity among residents, staff, and students.
