Camping-Car Park, based in Pornic, has opened two new motorhome and camper van stopover areas in the Vendée department: one in Aubigny-les-Clouzeaux with 16 pitches and another in Barbâtre on Noirmoutier Island with 30 pitches. The sites offer water, electricity, Wi-Fi, waste water disposal and refuse collection. The network, which now includes 18 sites in the region, continues to grow.

Since September 4, about 40 caravans have been illegally occupying a field near the Bergerie housing estate in Châtellerault. The landowner filed a complaint with police. Mayor Anne-Florence Bourat denied that any authorization was given and said the prefecture of Vienne has initiated an eviction procedure. The travelers, who came from Chinon and Sainte-Maure-de-Touraine, plan to stay until September 20.

In 2017, Dominique Cavanna was hospitalized in Seine-Saint-Denis with a diagnosis of "giving-up syndrome." Doctors gave her only days to live. Her granddaughter Fiona Lauriol took her out of the hospital and embarked on a motorhome journey. From 2019 to 2020, they traveled through Spain, Portugal, and Andorra. Cavanna died in 2020 at age 103, smiling in her sleep. The story is recounted in Lauriol's book "101 Years Old, Grandma Hits the Road."

Since the start of 2025, the Swiss canton of Geneva has been calculating vehicle tax for camper vans and motorhomes based on weight. Owners of a two-tonne camper van pay about €150 per year, while four-tonne integral motorhomes can incur up to €700. The measure does not apply to vehicles registered in France. A petition proposing a €1,000 annual tax on motorhomes in France has gathered only 25 signatures.

In November 2025, a couple's motorhome was deliberately set on fire outside their home in Saint-Malo, Ille-et-Vilaine. The vehicle was completely destroyed, and the house suffered smoke and heat damage, forcing the couple to live in a neighbor's home, then in a motorhome lent by their son, and later in a replacement motorhome purchased by their insurance. The suspect's trial, scheduled for September 3, 2026, was postponed because his lawyer was hospitalized and the defendant has psychiatric issues. The new hearing is set for May 27, 2027. The couple hopes to return home by Christmas, but electrical and heating repairs are still pending.
