A catastrophic wildfire has caused the evacuation of more than 3,000 tourists from a popular holiday hotspot in France, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. The raging inferno, which has been described as “catastrophic,” has scorched approximately 500 hectares of land, engulfing homes and holiday campsites near the Spanish border.

The wildfires ignited near the villages of Saint-Andre, Sorede, and the well-known seaside resort of Argeles. As the flames rapidly spread through the area, thousands of frightened tourists were forced to flee for their lives from their holiday homes and campsites, with some scenes capturing children’s screams of terror.
