Abstract
“Designated Sites” is the expression used by French Travellers to describe the stopping places where they are forced to live by the authorities.[1] In France, there are over 1,200 official caravan sites for French Travellers. The photographer Valentin Merlin travelled around the country to document those places and has photographed over 230 of them since 2015.
