In Brief
Alain, 75, must leave a municipal plot in La Queue-en-Brie by early May. His €495 pension cannot cover a campsite costing €1,400 per month.
Alain, a 75-year-old French pensioner, is desperately looking for a piece of land to park the caravan he calls home in La Queue-en-Brie (Val-de-Marne). He lives in a 12 m² caravan with two dogs and must vacate the temporary municipal plot by early May, as the land has been put up for sale.
His monthly pension is €495, while renting a pitch in a campsite costs €1,400 per month. The municipality says it has no available land for him. Alain describes the situation as a "dead end."
