A customer at a Libertium dealership in Bayonne, France, who came in for routine maintenance, discovered he had won a national draw and received a check for €49,851 — the full price of his camper. The Libertium Days promotion ran from March 17 to 28, 2026, with 67 participating dealerships. The camper was purchased by a father for his son to live in year-round.
The commune of Talant in eastern France has installed 1.5-tonne concrete and stone blocks near the stadium to prevent illegal caravan parking. In May, around a hundred caravans occupied sports fields, costing the commune €10,000 for access restrictions and utilities. Mayor Adrien Guené said the commune received no state support.
On Sunday, August 23, 2026, a community of travelers set up around fifty caravans on the football stadium in Fleury-sur-Orne (Calvados), south of Caen. The municipality has filed a complaint for illegal occupation.
Around 150 caravans have illegally set up in Orvault and Les Sorinières near Nantes. Mayors demand expulsion; police patrol the area.
In France, fraudulent ads offering free motorhomes are on the rise. Scammers promise a free vehicle but then demand payment for transport, paperwork, or other fees. Experts advise against sending money before receiving the vehicle and recommend verifying the donor's identity.
Thierry, a resident of Guerlédan in the Côtes-d'Armor department, has built a motorhome with unusually large dimensions. According to actu.fr, the vehicle offers a spacious interior and is designed for comfortable travel. Its size makes driving and parking more demanding.
