Alain Marty, a 69-year-old former truck driver from Villeneuve-sur-Lot, moved into a converted Fiat Ducatoⓘ after 42 years on the road in Europe. On a €2,000 monthly pension, he avoids rent, property tax and electricity bills, and uses apps listing bivouac zones to find free parking each night. The money saved on parking goes toward restaurants and social activities.
