Sheilla and Gilles Perronno, vacationing at the Grand Crohot campsite in Lège-Cap-Ferret (Gironde), were evacuated due to wildfires and repatriated to their home in Saint-Hilaire-la-Gravelle. They still do not know if their caravan survived. The fires destroyed thousands of hectares of forest and forced thousands of holidaymakers to leave.
