CORRECTION / Andre Pourvoyeur, a forester and a former 69-year-old paratrooper officer gestures as he shows the roadside where he considers the fire have started, on the edge of his wife's plot (60 hectares of now-charred pines) in the forest of Saumos, west of Bordeaux on July 30, 2026, as the wildfire has been ravaging 42 000 hectares of forest gone up in smoke in the Arcachon Basin (Gironde) since July 22. The owners of the Saumos forest plot, from which the megafire ravaging the Gironde started, told AFP on July 30, 2026 that they want legal action against the company suspected of having accidentally triggered the blaze, deploring heavy financial losses.
