From May 14 to 17, 2026, the Keranna business area in Moréac, Morbihan, hosts an exhibition of about 60 motorhomes. Owners share their experience of living in these vehicles full-time. One couple sold their house in Quimper to buy a motorhome for 150,000 euros; with a trailer, fuel consumption is about 27 liters per 100 km, and a full tank costs 300–360 euros. Another retired couple purchased a motorhome with about 40 m² of space. Organizers expect around 4,000 visitors; entry is 5 euros.

Daniel Guichard, 77, buys motorhome for price of a house, lives in it on tour

French singer Daniel Guichard, 77, bought a 5.5-tonne Niesmann + Bischoff motorhome for a sum equivalent to the price of a house. He uses it for touring to avoid hotels and dressing rooms. The vehicle has covered about 90,000 km. Guichard can drive it thanks to an old driver's license issued before 1976. He also participates in discussions about low-emission zones (ZFE) alongside Alexandre Jardin.

Two Vendée communes ordered to remove motorhome restrictions

A court ordered the communes of La Faute-sur-Mer and Longeville-sur-Mer in Vendée to remove barriers and signs restricting motorhome access and parking. The barriers were deemed illegal as they are designed to prevent danger, not to restrict access to a parking lot. Signs banning motorhomes have no official status under French road rules. The court also ruled that parking bans on motorhomes can only be enforced with a proper municipal decree.

Gard resident turns home into motorhome stopover spot

Corinne, a resident of Bagnols-sur-Cèze, hosted motorhome travelers at her home for over eight years through 'gamping,' a practice where travelers stay on private property. She said she did it not for money but to meet people, using earnings only to cover costs like electricity and water. Guests had access to shared spaces and weekly communal meals. Corinne also uses gamping herself via Campspace and park4night, though she notes the practice risks becoming commercialized with rising prices.
