We had to act quickly. During the night from Thursday to Friday, a hundred people had to be evacuated from their Les Sylvadours holiday village, in Carcans in the Gironde. At around midnight, the main building of 400 m² caught fire, reports Sud Ouest. The firefighters quickly intervened while holidaymakers and the staff of the establishment were welcomed in particular in the sports hall of the town.

Two good news anyway. There were no injuries and the fire did not spread to the forest. For the moment, we do not know the origin of the fire. An investigation has been opened.
