A caravan was completely destroyed by fire on the evening of Saturday, 5 September, on the D960 between Vadencourt and Aisonville-et-Bernoville. Firefighters from Guise were called at around 21:15 and extinguished the blaze. Gendarmes from Ribemont have opened an investigation to identify the owner and establish the cause; the caravan had no registration plate, and theft has not been ruled out. Traffic was alternated during the response.
The motorhome stopover in Auxonne, opened on 13 February on chemin de la Grande Prairie, recorded 1,575 overnight stays (about 3,700 people) in its first six months.

The rate is 14.80 euros per night, and revenue has reached about 20,000 euros. About 60% of users are French and 40% foreign, mainly German. The site has a rating of 4.4 out of 5.

Under Article R.421-23 of the French Urban Planning Code, keeping a caravan on private land for more than three months per year outside campsites and residential leisure parks requires a prior declaration. The three-month period is calculated by adding up all periods of use, consecutive or not. If the notice is ignored, the mayor can order removal with a penalty of €500 per day of delay, capped at €25,000. A mobile home is not granted the same tolerance and may only be installed in a residential leisure park, holiday village, or campsite.
