"We deplore the loss of nearly 1 000 hectares," Darmanin said, warning France was headed for"an extremely difficult summer 2023, possibly as difficult as summer 2022." The fire spread around the French villages of Cerbere and Banyuls-sur-Mer on the Mediterranean coast, with the blaze fanned by strong, swirling winds that prevented the use of Canadair planes, according to the prefecture.
Some 300 inhabitants were evacuated in Cerbere, with most able to return to their homes by Sunday evening, it added.
