George and Amal Clooney evacuated their home in southern France as wildfires swept across parts of Europe, forcing over 250,000 people from their homes in France and Spain. The fires have caused widespread disruption, with one blaze threatening the Bordeaux wine region and Spain declaring a national emergency, underscoring the growing severity of the summer wildfire season affecting the region.

France has deployed its military to help tackle the fires, and organisers were forced to shorten the route of the Tour de France as firefighters worked to contain the blazes. While the article confirms the Clooneys left their property amid the emergency, further details of their evacuation were limited within the report.
