Forest fires in France: which fires have been the most devastating ?

The article discusses some of the most devastating forest fires in France over the past fifty years, highlighting specific incidents such as the fire in the Fontainebleau forest, which burned 2000 hectares—setting a record for northern France. It notes that the largest recorded fire occurred in Landiras, Gironde, in 2022, where more than 12,500 hectares were destroyed. The fire reignited a month later due to residual heat. Another significant fire in Teste-de-Buch in the same year burned 5,700 hectares, bringing the total area affected in Gironde to around 30,000 hectares. The BDIFF database tracks these fires since 2006 nationwide and since 1973 in the Mediterranean region, noting other major fires exceeding 10,000 hectares.
