A quarter-million people have been uprooted from their homes across France as wildfires advance through the countryside, pressing now toward Bordeaux — a landscape whose vineyards have shaped both the economy and identity of southwestern France for centuries. The displacement is among the largest the country has seen in recent memory, a reminder that fire does not distinguish between the ordinary and the irreplaceable. Emergency services are caught between two urgent imperatives: moving people to safety and holding a line against flames that continue to spread.
