In Brief

French singer Daniel Guichard, 77, has been using a Niesmann + Bischoff motorhome for tours for about ten years. He drives the 5.5-ton vehicle thanks to a category B license issued before 1976. His wife cannot drive it as she lacks such a license.

French singer Daniel Guichard, aged 77, has been using a motorhome for his tours for about ten years to avoid hotels and dressing rooms. His current vehicle is a German Niesmann + Bischoff motorhome, 3 meters high and weighing 5.5 tons. According to the artist, its cost is comparable to that of a house.

Guichard drives this large vehicle thanks to an old category B driving license issued before 1976. "I am lucky to have a license dating from before 1976," he said. This allows him to legally drive a 5.5-ton motorhome, which would not be possible with a modern license of the same category.

The singer's only regret is that his wife does not have a similar old license and therefore cannot drive the motorhome.
