Motorhomes for €12,000: What You Can Find on the Market

About a hundred caravans belonging to the travelling community, illegally parked on the Chênaie site, left the area on Sunday, June 7, in the afternoon. The departure was calm. Mayor Marie-Agnès Ménoret Ultra, accompanied by her deputy Claude Grangé, visited the site to witness the departure. While some litter remained on the wooded terrain, most waste was placed in or near containers.

Bulky items, such as chairs and a washing machine, were loaded into the municipal dump truck and taken to the landfill.
