In total, more than 36,000 people were evacuated from their homes or vacation spots. Some have been taken to emergency accommodation and others have been with friends or family. After a week, people were able to return to their homes at the end of the day, Thursday July 21.
Finally, the joy of returning home from vacation. Tourists evacuated on Monday July 18 because of the smoke from the fire are among the first to return to Pyla-sur-Mer (Gironde). “We are happy to be back”, testifies a father. The family is relieved. After spending three days with friends, the family quickly got back to their habits.
While some are resuming their holidays, on the dune of Pilat (Gironde), the observation is bitter for the director of the Flots Bleus campsite. Nothing remains of the chalet where Franck Couderc lived. The recently refurbished mobile homes were entirely charred by the fire, like most of the pines on this listed site. A test, as the summer season began. A test to face, because it may be necessary to lay off staff and rebuild with local contractors.
