Wildfires sweeping through southwestern France have triggered a fresh wave of evacuations around Bordeaux, with police going door to door overnight in affected communities. Authorities ordered another 55,000 residents to leave as flames spread closer to the metropolitan area. Evacuees described anxiety and uncertainty, while others praised the solidarity at emergency shelters. Bordeaux Mayor Thomas Cazenave rejected reports of a citywide evacuation, but warned officials are prepared for all scenarios as the fires remain near the city’s outskirts.
