French authorities have ordered the evacuation of the entirety of the Cap Ferret peninsula (Lège-Cap Ferret) on the south-west coast, with hundreds of people escaping the area by boat.

The tourism destination is being evacuated as firefighters continue to battle a wildfire that has raged in the Gironde region for days.

The fire, which began on Tuesday in Saumos, continued to burn overnight with 8,700 hectares (around 21,500 acres) 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.
