Meuse Grand Sud modernizes its campsites with Camping Car Park
Original source: La Gazette France

On June 24, the Meuse Grand Sud agglomeration will inaugurate automated terminals at campsites in Ligny-en-Barrois and Bar-le-Duc. The equipment allows travelers to access pitches autonomously, securely, and at any hour, automating reservations and vehicle entry/exit. The project is a partnership with Camping Car Park. France remains the top European destination for motorhome travelers, and local authorities are investing in automation to control operating costs.

Family-owned Bonjour Caravaning, celebrating its 50th anniversary in May 2026, has completed renovations at three of its five leisure vehicle dealerships in Brittany. The €3 million investment includes €500,000 for a 400 m² warehouse expansion in Le Faou, another €500,000 for similar work in Guidel, and €2 million for a 1,500 m² extension and modernisation at its headquarters in Orgères. The company sells around 800 vehicles annually (500 new), capturing one-fifth of Brittany’s new VASP market (2,500 units per year). 50% of sales are camper vans, which have boomed since COVID. Bonjour Caravaning plans to open a sixth dealership before 2030.

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.

A new motorhome area with 6 pitches has opened in Ambon, Morbihan, directly adjacent to Tréhervé beach, between the Gulf of Morbihan and the Vilaine estuary. Located at 12 Route de la Baie, the area offers electricity, drinking water, Wi-Fi, waste water disposal, waste collection, and a security system. The south-facing beach in Kervoyal Bay is unsupervised and un-equipped, with public toilets nearby. Ambon has two other beaches within minutes, and the Romanesque church of Sainte-Julitte has yielded remains of a 3rd-century Roman temple and a 6th-century paleochristian sanctuary.

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."
