## Summary

A major wildfire has swept through a wealthy French peninsula dubbed the “French Hamptons”, destroying or threatening multi-million-pound holiday homes and forcing tourists to flee via its only access road. The blaze has prompted President Emmanuel Macron to appeal for help in tackling what has been described as a “monster” fire, underlining the danger to residents, visitors and property in an area with limited evacuation routes.

The article reports that holidaymakers faced congestion as they tried to leave along the peninsula’s single road while flames spread nearby. Although the report emphasises the high value of affected homes, it does not provide confirmed figures for casualties, destroyed properties or the scale of the fire in the supplied text.
