The van is also an ecological. New products and used products have exploded and, at the same time, companies specializing in vehicle accessories or products dedicated to life on board (kitchen area, houses -toilet, solar panels, etc.) are grown.

Xavier Meyer, a resident of Isère, is at the head of a family structure in which he accepts his wife, his two sons and his sister. Your small custom van design business didn’t experience the crisis. Jack Jack of all trades – former high school math teacher, manufacturer of custom chalets in Briançon then manager of a large DIY store – answers to all questions. One of the last is unusual: a yoga teacher’s van, with a “traveling hammam to be able to offer relaxing treatments to its clients”.

A real technical challenge, since it is necessary to integrate the heated floor, the steam generator and the hammam in question, which also serves as a bath. The 2.6-ton vehicle, a 2014 Mercedes van with 70,000 km on the clock, was presented at the Vanlife show in Grenoble (Isère) last May. Many curious people came aboard and were surprised. Above all, the hammam has the power to do three times a quarter in total, for a total duration of 45 minutes. And if there is no power, the van can charge its batteries using two solar panels. Total cost: 64,000 euros.

François Facon, the yoga teacher in question, was also there. This Savoyard, who has put his house up for sale, is about to hit the road and change his life. “I work for ski areas,” he explains. I travel a lot and I love it. » Your house now has a few square meters in the back, which accommodates a bed 140 x 190 cm (acceptance), a kitchen area and this hammam, therefore, with 100 liters of clean water.

It focuses on Norway, first, then Austria, Italy, Spain. The man, however, is not hot or wacko, he has taken care to protect his back. “I will continue my professional career during my tour,” he explained. But in consultation, while working at the same time as a yoga teacher, which I was taught in India. »

François does not focus on big cities, but small villages and countryside. He decided to “offer important, authentic meetings” and use his van “to escape the beaten track and introduce yoga to an audience that has no access to it”. The ship is ready. For the rest, all that is left is to build a road.
