Wildfires Threaten France's Traditional Summer Camping Industry
Wildfires in southwest France have forced the evacuation of campsites, including Domaine de La Rive near Biscarrosse, highlighting risks to the country's cherished camping tradition. Established 90 years ago as an egalitarian summer pastime, France's 7,400 campsites face increasing threats from climate change due to their locations near forests, seas, and rivers. Industry leaders emphasize the need for modern solutions as losses from evacuations and bans impact business and tourism.
