French Oystermen and Residents Defy Evacuation Orders Amid Fire Threat
In the Cap Ferret peninsula of southwest France, a group of residents, including oystermen and retirees, have chosen to stay despite evacuation orders due to a nearby wildfire. Benoit Bartherotte, a local businessman, has taken it upon himself to create a firebreak to protect the area, despite bureaucratic challenges. Volunteers, including Quentin, an osteopath, are working to safeguard the village by clearing a strip of land. The residents, who consider themselves 'real locals', are determined to protect their homes and livelihoods, even as the fire threatens their community.
