About wildfires in France
France has experienced increasingly severe wildfire seasons, with fires now affecting regions beyond the traditional Mediterranean fire zone. The 2022 Gironde fires in southwestern France shocked the nation, burning over 30,000 hectares near Bordeaux — an area not previously considered high-risk.
The Mediterranean coast, including Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, Corsica, and Languedoc-Roussillon, remains the most fire-prone area. Climate change is extending fire risk northward and lengthening the fire season across the country.
