For several weeks, caravans have invaded the driveway and customer parking lot of his business. Philippe Debas, the manager of the Easy Camper consignment store in Saint-Jean-de-Védas, in Hérault, no longer knows what to do. Met by our colleagues from Free Midday on March 15, the motorhome sales specialist explains that the phenomenon has increased in recent days.
“Now there are more than ten vehicles. They block my entrance, they dirty the surrounding area,” he declared. In his distress, he says that the authorities pass the buck and that customers begin to desert his business.

Already in December, travelers had set up shop in front of his business. They stayed more than a month, he said, before leaving on their own in January. And since their return, Philippe Debas has been getting annoyed: “They come to ask me for water, food and even to top it off, for me to open my private parking lot to them.” For the moment, no eviction is planned, but the merchant reminds that his patience has limits.
