Nearly 4,000 people were evacuated from tourist sites near Lacanau in France amid wildfires that burned 42,000 hectares in the Gironde department. President Macron visited a crisis center in Bordeaux and described the situation as the toughest since World War II, while fires across France, Spain, and Italy displaced about 330,000 people in one week according to The Guardian. Some fires in the Landes department and Écrins massif were contained, allowing returns, though threats remained in other areas.
