New motorhome parking area opens in Larmor-Plage (Morbihan)

French company Vanroad Évasion has unveiled a prototype electric motorhome based on the Toyota Proace Electric with a 75 kWh battery. Five fold-out solar panels on the roof provide a peak power of 2.5 kW. Under favorable conditions, the system can recover up to 80 km of range per day, but requires long stops in direct sunlight. During a test trip to Morocco, a less sunny day yielded about 13 kWh, corresponding to roughly 65 km. The motorhome is fully electric: induction hob, heating and refrigerator operate without gas. An additional 10 kWh battery serves as a buffer and can add about 35 km of range. The project shows how electric RVs can reduce reliance on charging infrastructure, provided travelers adopt a slow pace.

The French Federation of Motorhome Associations and Clubs (Ffaccc) has launched a treasure hunt for three Louis d'Or coins hidden in France. Due to rising gold prices, the prize value has exceeded 2000 euros. Only members of the federation for at least six months can participate. A new clue is released each month, and the coins are hidden in one of 80 village-étapes.

In Tulle and Herrlisheim, groups of travelers illegally occupied stadiums. Authorities plan to take legal action to evict the trespassers.

Approximately 150 caravans illegally occupied the Lavières site in Brottes on May 25. Members of local associations report litter, a damaged fence, and excrement.

On May 31, about 80 caravans occupied football fields in Saint-Andiol, while over 250 caravans took over private land in Entrelacs. Mayors expressed dissatisfaction, police are monitoring.
