In Brief

French channels M6+, TFX and RMC Story are airing programs about families traveling in motorhomes, vans and trucks. Stories range from France to Iceland and around-the-world expeditions, showing both the romance and everyday challenges of life on the road.

French television is actively covering the trend of traveling in motorhomes. M6+ aired a documentary about families touring France and Spain in used or rented RVs, with routes from Dordogne to Brittany and the Spanish Pyrenees.

Programs on TFX and RMC Story

TFX announced the premiere of "Camping-cars: Les vacances de leur vie" on June 14, 2026 at 9:10 PM. Six families travel in motorhomes, vans, buses or in a convoy. Produced by MAGMAX PRODUCTIONS and TF1 Production, the show highlights both scenic beauty and everyday difficulties, unexpected situations and the need to adapt to limited space.

On RMC Story, the 13th episode of "La folie du camping-car : des vacances pas comme les autres" aired on April 30, 2026 at 9:10 PM. It features three families: Aurelie and Erwan with children toured southern Europe for six months and arrived in Germany for a motorcycle Grand Prix; Marie and Jo traveled across France with concerts for two years; Erwan and Aline with their daughter embarked on an 18-month round-the-world trip in a truck, starting from Brittany.

Last year, 1.5 million French people chose holidays in motorhomes, campers and converted vans.

Mayor of Oraison denies access to racetrack for traveler convoy

On June 14, 2026, around 170 caravans of a traveler community attempted to enter the racetrack in Oraison (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence).
