The Indre-et-Loire Department has launched a mobile motorhome to provide services in remote settlements. Since December 2025, the yellow Mobibus vehicle has been traveling through Touraine, offering medical consultations for young parents and functioning as a social center.

The equipped motorhome area at Lake Kir in Dijon, opened in December, is often full. The 24-space facility with dumping stations, water, electricity, and Wi-Fi was created by the city with an investment of €250,000 to structure tourist reception and reduce downtown parking.

A caravan fire occurred on April 13 in an isolated forest area near Montignac. A 60-year-old man suffered second and third degree burns to his face, back and hands from the heating system and was airlifted to the Bordeaux burn unit. Firefighters evacuated gas cylinders and fought the flames all night.

A couple from Alsace used the Temu platform to equip their motorhome in 2025. They purchased items such as power sockets, a USB port, a fan, and a motorcycle lock for security, enabling them to extend their summer trips from one to two weeks.

The motorhome, camper van, and caravan exhibition will take place from April 23 to 26 at the Tarbes Exhibition Park. It will feature around 250 new and used vehicles from over 35 brands, making it the largest regional event of its kind. Admission is free but requires prior registration.

French manufacturer La Bouriquette has introduced a simplified version of an ultra-compact caravan. The model is 3.42 m long, weighs 430 kg and starts at 9,000 euros, but many options including kitchen and cooling are available at extra cost.
