Britons could be among 10,000 holidaymakers evacuated from campsites in Provence as fires fanned by strong winds swept across the parched southern French region at the peak of the summer holiday season.
Four water-bomber aircraft, two helicopters and more than 300 firefighters and 90 fire trucks were deployed to try to extinguish the fires that threatened three different campsites.
Thirty mobile homes went up in flames in one site near the seaside town of Fréjus, about 25 miles west of Cannes, and 10 in another, local officials said.
