In Gironde, southwestern France, recent wildfires prompted evacuations, but residents of Le Porge and Lège-Cap-Ferret have been permitted to return to their communities as conditions improved. The fire in the Var region remains active yet stable without further spread. The reopening of campgrounds in Lège au Piquey and the return of commerce in Cap Ferret signal recovery progress.
