Jessica, a piano teacher from Dordogne, has been traveling across France in her motorhome since April to bring music to residents of nursing homes (EHPAD). She performs in facilities, plays melodies, and teaches seniors to play the piano using colored stickers on keys and sheet music. At the Abbé François nursing home in Steenwerck, about 15 residents participated in her session. Next week, Jessica will head to Oise and then to Alsace.

How to keep snakes from settling under caravans and awnings this summer

French herpetology experts and camping associations have issued guidelines to prevent snakes from taking shelter under caravans and awnings. Key measures: mow grass to under 5 cm, remove all stored items under the chassis, install fine-mesh wire (less than 1 cm) buried 5 cm deep, and ensure the caravan skirt is taut against the ground. If a snake is found, do not attempt to catch it — back away, create ground vibrations, and call a specialist. In France, all grass snakes are protected, and vipers are partially protected by law.

Ahead of the Tour de France: motorhomes gather in Corrèze before the race

Motorhomes are lined up along a road near Meymac (Corrèze), with fans arriving early to secure viewing spots for the Tour de France stage. Two retired couples from Pas-de-Calais and Yonne met at the Grand Bornand stage in 2018 and have met every summer since. They plan their route using the Tour's official guide, call each other, and travel by motorhome, combining their hobby with discovering new regions of France. This year, they are concerned about rising fuel prices.
