2 areas: Vallées et piémonts du Nord-Forez · Dore et affluents
Protected-area designation: the rule of the protected area applies here in addition to the municipal one, and it usually makes the penalty harsher.

Where the line lies between parking, sleeping and camping
camping · France
Camping is forbidden outside a campsite or designated zone. What changes from one country to another is which gesture crosses the line:
  • La libertad de acampar solo se reconoce fuera del dominio de las carreteras y de las vias publicas: la calzada, el arcen y sus dependencias quedan excluidos de esa libertad.
  • Se exige el acuerdo de quien tiene el disfrute del suelo y queda a salvo, en su caso, la oposicion del propietario.
  • La libertad se ejerce en las condiciones fijadas por la propia subseccion del codigo, es decir, con las prohibiciones de los articulos siguientes.
  • El articulo R111-33 prohibe el camping practicado aisladamente y la creacion de terrenos de camping en las orillas del mar y en los sitios inscritos, en los sitios clasificados o en tramite de clasificacion, en el perimetro de los sitios patrimoniales notables y en los alrededores de los monumentos historicos, y en un radio de 200 metros alrededor de los puntos de captacion de agua para consumo, salvo las derogaciones que el propio articulo detalla para cada supuesto.
  • El articulo R111-34 permite prohibir la practica del camping fuera de los terrenos habilitados en determinadas zonas mediante el plan local de urbanismo o por arrete del alcalde; la prohibicion solo es oponible si se ha hecho publica por edicto en el ayuntamiento y mediante paneles en los accesos habituales a las zonas afectadas.
  • El articulo R111-47 considera caravana el vehiculo terrestre habitable destinado a una ocupacion temporal o estacional de ocio que conserva de forma permanente medios de movilidad, definicion que alcanza a la autocaravana, y los articulos R111-48 y R111-49 prohiben su instalacion, cualquiera que sea su duracion, en los sectores donde el camping aislado esta prohibido, en los bosques y parques clasificados como espacios boscosos a conservar y en los sectores donde el alcalde o el plan local han prohibido el camping.
Code de l'urbanisme (partie reglementaire) art. R111-32 · verified on 2026-09-05
«Le camping est librement pratiqué, hors de l'emprise des routes et voies publiques, dans les conditions fixées par la présente sous-section, avec l'accord de celui qui a la jouissance du sol, sous réserve, le cas échéant, de l'opposition du propriétaire.»
