Flights were grounded at Marseille airport on Tuesday after wildfires raged near France’s second-largest city, causing mass cancellations and disruption continuing into Wednesday.
The blaze was fanned by winds of up to 70km (43 miles) per hour and could be smelled in the centre of Marseille as thick clouds of smoke descended over the coastal city, leaving at least 110 people treated for smoke inhalation and related injuries.
