A French couple, Carinne and Gregory, who have been traveling in a motorhome for six years, have faced new parking restrictions in Brittany. They call the measures dishonest and discriminatory.

On Saturday, August 8 at 7:30 p.m., 22 of 66 spaces were occupied when a van approached; the driver used a Camping-car park card, the company commissioned by the Cluses Arve et montagne intermunicipal community (2CCAM) to manage the site, and became the 23rd vehicle.
