All NewsThe motorhome service area in Vire Normandie (Calvados) has received negative online reviews due to overflowing bins and no electricity hookups. Travelers stopping there note that the town has installed a waste disposal point and water access, but no power connection. The municipality estimates that between 6 and 12 motorhomes pass through daily, with each visitor spending around 39 euros per day, contributing significantly to the local economy.
On September 6, Château de La Loyère will host a classic car and caravan show. The event marks the 110th anniversary of BMW, the 80th anniversary of the Renault 4CV, and the 70th anniversary of the Renault Dauphine.
A judge at the administrative court of Bordeaux ordered a man who had illegally set up a caravan, chickens and a barbecue on the sports field in Saint-Sauveur (Gironde) to vacate the premises. The neighboring commune of Pauillac, which owns the land, filed a complaint on July 17, 2026, arguing that the site was intended for sports activities and that the camp posed a fire risk. The judge noted the presence of fire pits, unauthorized electrical connections, and unsanitary conditions, including chickens and a vegetable garden. The occupant, who did not appear in court, must leave immediately and pay 288 euros in legal costs.
Éric Brouard, 63, from Haute-Marne, after 40 years of a career where 'everything had to be fast', decided to travel by tractor with a caravan attached. His average speed is 30 km/h. On Saturday, he was seen on the parking lot of the Verdun citadel, where he chatted with passers-by, including a Swiss couple in a vintage Traction car who drive at 60 km/h.
On French highways, particularly the VINCI Autoroutes network, a toll transponder for motorhomes automatically applies the class 2 rate, simplifying payment and reducing the risk of misclassification. Class 2 covers most standard motorhomes between 2 and 3 meters in height and with a gross vehicle weight up to 3.5 tons. To accurately estimate toll costs, free simulators such as VINCI Autoroutes and Mappy are recommended, along with checking the displayed class before payment.
The municipality of Fleury-d'Aude is considering converting its municipal campsite Rive d'Aude into a naturist establishment by 2028. This has sparked opposition from permanent residents, who have launched a petition and formed a collective against the project. Mayor André-Luc Montagnier said the project aims to boost tourism and the local economy, but no final decision has been made.
