Many municipalities have tightened access and parking rules, causing incomprehension among motorhome users. Their representatives say some municipalities exceed the law, and the association is filing multiple appeals against orders it deems illegal. To avoid restrictions, many choose to change destinations.

Motorhome travelers in Morbihan seek shaded spots to escape heat

In Évellys (Naizin, Morbihan), the municipal campsite managed by Camping-Car Park attracts motorhome travelers with its shaded pitches and proximity to a lake. The network has over 800 sites accessible 24/7 across France. Travelers interviewed, including from Brest, Loire-Atlantique, and Gironde, said they choose such locations to avoid heatwaves and appreciate the ease of access. One full-time motorhome resident, Isabelle, uses the network's sites and considers them a better alternative to traditional campsites.
