Catch-Up: Gens du Voyage in France

Published by:

A summary of the news of the other “Gypsies” in France, the so-called “Gens du Voyage”. These are mostly Manouches and Sinti, but also cover groups such as Lovara, Kalderasha, and a few others as well as non Rroma groups of travellers. Here’s a digest of the news on them: A general debate on camps for travellers in France; the MRAP, an anti-racist group wants to reinforce the dualogue; in the South of France, they are forced to change camp; whether a camping stop will be allowed near Paris; the construction of such a camp near Vincennes; Watreloos, and its Wall, now from the Traveller side; a mayor disclaiming footing the electricity and water bill for travellers; a petition in the South West to close a camp; in the North, Travellers squat a unused parcel; and finally travellers being reported to poach in Brittany;
