Monster forest fire in the Var (south of France). The fire, which started from the Les Sigues rest area on the motorway near the town of Gonfaron on Monday afternoon, arrived in the evening in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez where it continued its terrible advance, stoked by strong winds. He covered 4,000 hectares. Throughout the night, evacuations continued to bring residents and vacationers in the most threatened areas to safety. In Grimaud, a hotel and a campsite were completely destroyed by the flames. Several people were injured while trying to escape the fire which approached very close to the village
