Just something to consider when setting up your yurt and local codes begin to change:

'Yurt war' in rural France as British families find the good life turned sour - Telegraph

Snippet:

They came toFrance in search of the good life, setting up home in a picturesque village deep in the French countryside. Three British families fell in love with the small farming community of Bussière-Boffy, near Limoges, and six years ago decided to settle there, raising their children amid the rolling hills and lush woodland.

But now that dreamy lifestyle has become a nightmare.

The families have chosen to live in yurts - a circular, latticed framework of poles covered with felt or skins, which is the traditional dwelling of the nomadic peoples of the Asian steppes. And the local mayor has now taken to the courts to force them to leave, with the increasingly-bitter legal battle dividing the village and pitting those who support the Britons against the allies of the mayor, who claims they are acting “like a bunch of kids” by refusing to comply with planning laws.
