In Brief

Domaine de la Destinée winery in Orange has joined the France Passion network, offering motorhome owners a free overnight stay with purchase. The project started five years ago after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Domaine de la Destinée winery in Orange (France) has joined the France Passion network, which unites over 2,200 farmers across the country. Motorhome owners CAN stay overnight for free at the winery, provided they purchase its products.

The project started five years ago, after the COVID-19 pandemic, when the Folliet family decided to diversify their business. Sandrine and Pierre Folliet have been working five hectares of vineyards since January 1997.

Meanwhile, a Japanese YouTuber specializing in car life notes that key criteria for choosing overnight spots are sufficient parking space and low noise levels. He also highlights the growing popularity of electric vehicles, which affects the availability of charging infrastructure in such locations.

Japan Tightens Oversight on Overloaded Trailers and Special Vehicles

Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is strengthening measures against overloading of trailers and other special vehicles. Data shows 140,000–150,000 overload violations annually from 2021 to 2023, with about 5,000 out of 9,000 offending operators lacking permits. The ministry plans to revise regulations: issue warnings after a first violation for unlicensed vehicles, lower the threshold for administrative guidance from 20 violations in 3 months to 20 in 2 years, and facilitate criminal prosecution when road infrastructure is damaged.
