Two years on the road with a cat named Zhuzu — and not a single day of wanting to go back.

Developer Gautier Chamoulaud has released an update to Gabary, a GPS app designed for motorhomes and camper vans. The app is now compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing it to be displayed on the vehicle's screen. It uses vehicle dimensions (height, width, weight) to suggest suitable routes and warns about low bridges, narrow roads, and other obstacles using Street View imagery. The update also includes real-time traffic information and the option to avoid highways and tolls.
In the Mayenne department, which is under an orange heatwave alert, holidaymakers at campsites are suffering from high temperatures. Visitors to a campsite in Évron report 38 degrees Celsius inside caravans, while occupancy for tent and motorhome pitches is only around 20%. The campsite management has installed a misting system and plans to focus on the shoulder season.
Erwan Delsaut, mayor of Plouharnel in Morbihan, said the presence of caravans in Quiberon is unacceptable, as the area is a protected natural site. He stressed that it is impossible to accommodate such a large population on protected land.
