I take it that the driver of the middle van stays in it?
There is not even air space between those vans

I’m guessing that is parking to shop and not to overnight.

Not sure about that in the Lidl situation and the bays are certainly on the narrow side.
I do know that many of the supermarkets in France allow overnight parking with reasonably generous spacing
