As wildfires tear through the Fontainebleau forest south of Paris, residents describe their fear and disbelief. Locals spoke to FRANCE 24 about their connection to the woodland and how the blaze is reshaping a place they called home.
Wildfires have scorched roughly 2,050 hectares of the famed Fontainebleau forest southeast of Paris since breaking out Sunday, forcing around 1,000 people to evacuate as some 850 firefighters work to contain the two ongoing blazes, backed by water-bomber planes and helicopters.
