The road to the Dune du Pilat campsites is now closed by the police and buses full of holidaymakers are not about to use it again.
The fire, which is ravaging the Gironde, has been threatening these resorts for several days.
This Monday afternoon, while the beach of La-Teste-de-Buch was evacuated by the municipal police because of the clouds of smoke, the detonations of the gas canisters were heard in the distance.
Disastrous signal that the fire had just attacked the pine forests where the campers had installed their tent and caravan before being evacuated.
This Tuesday everything was reduced to ashes, giving the Dune du Pilat an air of Pompeii.
The famous Camping Les Flots Bleus, where Franck Dubosc had pitched Patrick Chirac's tent for his hit film "Camping" is no more.
