It is a natural disaster that they will certainly remember for a very long time as it marked the inhabitants of the region. With global warming, summers are increasingly arid and forest fires more frequent and devastating. Spared so far, the department of Gironde saw a large part of its forest destroyed by the flames last July. A terrible situation for the inhabitants of the region, including Jeremy Frerot and his wife, Laure Manaudou. Installed in the Arcachon basin, the lovers experienced this disaster as closely as possible, as they told during the events on their social networks.
The singer and the former swimmer were even forced to evacuate urgently when the fires were a few hundred meters from their home. Guest of the show 1 hour with… presented by Bernard Montiel on RFM, Jérémy Frérot returned to this particularly distressing period for his family. “We have never seen a fire in the Arcachon basin“says still incredulous the former member of Fréro Delavega, who left his home in disaster to reach the small town of Gujan-Mestras (Gironde) as he then recounts: “Yeah, it was close, but we needed to be with other people to be less afraid.“
At 11 p.m. the house was full of smoke inside, so we didn’t feel like falling asleep with that
The main fear of the father of two boys, the toxic fumes, as specified by the 65-year-old host, who also lives in the region. “At 11 p.m. the house was full of smoke inside, so we didn’t feel like falling asleep with that“, explains Jérémy Frérot, before indicating that the house was safe and sound, but that the situation was difficult to live with: “We could see the flames from our house. The flames were 100 meters high, you could see them. Human constructions have melted.“A distressing situation for the companion of Laure Manaudou, who has since recovered from this human and ecological tragedy with the help of his darling and his adorable boys.
