13:27Now PlayingFrench authorities have ordered the evacuation of the entirety of the Cap Ferret peninsula on the south-west coast, with hundreds of people escaping the area by boat.
Tens of thousands of people are being evacuated from the tourism destination west of Bordeaux, as firefighters continue to battle what has described as an "XXL fire" in the Gironde region.
The fires, which began on Tuesday, have burned for days, with officials saying 10,000 hectares (almost 25,000 acres) had been consumed by the flames.
Meanwhile, the government in Spain has declared a national emergency as wildfires burn out of control in several areas close to the capital Madrid.
