When it was very late at your arrival in Taizé, you were able to sleep in your car and go to the welcome area the next morning. This is no longer allowed. My daughter and her friend wanted to do that, but they were sent away by security people in Taizé. The girls got quite a shock, when the men came to their car in the middle of the night. They were told they had to leave, so they drove to Cluny and spent the night there. In the car, since all hotels were fully booked.
It seems that after the murder of Frère Roger last year all security rules are much more enforced now.

Sadly, even in Taizé you have to watch your belongings. Since you cannot lock anything
you have to be careful. You can ask at arrival for storage of valuables, but it's best not to bring too many.
