Gonfaron's unique mobile home park

Wolf spotting shows return to central France
The slow return of the wolf to areas of France where it was previously considered extinct is continuing, forest rangers said Monday, after one was spotted in the Lozere region.
MENDE - Wolf tracks have been found in the snow near Bondons, in the hills and forests of the Cevennes National Park 500 kilometres (312 miles) south of Paris, where one park official believes he saw one of the predators. A dead calf was found on farmland nearby, but it had been torn at by so many different animals it was difficult to say what killed it. Authorities are to conduct DNA tests on spoor samples found in the forest.

France to impose a 'picnic tax' on plastic in waste war
France is to impose a "picnic tax" on plastic cutlery and plates as part of a drive to cut down on waste, but the unlikely levy has stuck in the throat of "pique-niqueurs" across the country.
To general incredulity, the French environment minister, Jean-Louis Borloo, confirmed the so-called "taxe pique-nique" on Monday. "We're doing it," he declared.
UNESCO and the creation of an Olive Heritage Trail
In 2001 Carol Drinkwater published The Olive Farm, the first in her trilogy about her life, love and olive oil in the South of France. Now, seven years on, her research and writings have brought her face to face with the serious reality of the plight of our planet and the olive tree. Today, her dedication and passion has made her part of a UNESCO World Heritage team brought together to map out an Olive Heritage Trail around the Mediterranean Basin.
