In many municipalities, welcoming motorhome travelers was long an ad-hoc and unstructured affair, marked by makeshift parking, limited facilities, and low visibility. That was once the case in Le Pertre, in Ille-et-Vilaine. Today, everything has changed. As Mayor Aurélien Thébert explains: “Before the CAMPING-CAR PARK site opened, motorhomes were scattered all over the place. Now, we have a dedicated, well-integrated, and welcoming site.” The result: smoother traffic management, happier local residents, and a renewed boost to tourism, including from international visitors. Fabrezan is seeing similar success. For its mayor, Isabelle Géa, “a site that's open year-round attracts loyal visitors who make the most of the village shops and businesses.”
Far more than just a place to park, a well-designed site quickly becomes a genuine source of revenue for the municipality. In Noirmoutier-en-l’Île, the numbers speak for themselves: “Before partnering with CAMPING-CAR PARK, the site brought in around €100,000. Today, between €180,000 and €200,000 is paid back to the municipality every year,” notes Mayor Yan Balat. Part of this revenue has helped restore the historic castle, modernize local schools, and renovate public spaces. In Fabrezan, opting for a modern site meant avoiding the heavy costs of bringing the old municipal campsite up to code.
The impact of CAMPING-CAR PARK stopovers extends far beyond municipal management. The Fabrezan Camping-Car Park stopover is ideally located in the heart of the village. "Local business owners are delighted: motorhome travelers stop, spend money, and enjoy the restaurants, cafes, and grocery stores... And residents recognize that this model works better than the old campsite," explains Isabelle Géa. The visibility provided by the network also plays a key role. Aurélien Thébert confirms: "Digital listing increases our town's profile, and it clearly shows in the visitor numbers."
CAMPING-CAR PARK is a private company, and as such, it generates a profit. However, our business model is built on fair revenue sharing: two-thirds of the proceeds are paid directly to our partner municipalities. This distribution doesn't just cover operating costs—it provides concrete funding for local community projects. For our part, we retain one-third of the revenue, which enables us to keep investing, innovating, and enhancing the experience for both our users and local authorities. It's a virtuous circle where everyone wins.
Elected officials also praise the support provided by CAMPING-CAR PARK. "For a small town like ours, managing a stopover on our own would have been complicated. The partnership gave us a responsive contact, real follow-up, and professional service," emphasizes the mayor of Fabrezan. The local site, designed with an ecological approach and no asphalt, promotes soil permeability and is part of a sustainable initiative that combines traveler comfort with respect for the environment.
