George Clooney's representative confirmed the evacuation and shared a letter the couple sent to Brignoles Mayor Didier Brémond.

“Dear Didier, at the moment we do not know if our beautiful home will survive this terrible time,” the letter began.

As of Wednesday, an unstoppable wildfire nearly four times the size of Paris has been burning in southwestern France. This fire was separate from the fire that threatened the area of Brignoles, where about 3,000 people were evacuated. Fires continued to threaten parts of southern Europe, and three firefighters died in Greece as crews battled extreme heat, drought and strong winds, according to the Associated Press.
More than 300,000 people have been forced to leave France and Spain, including residents and tourists.
Temperatures soared to nearly 104 degrees Wednesday in the Gironde region of France, where the country's largest wildfire prompted the evacuation of an estimated 220,000 residents and tourists from high altitude. Although many have returned, tens of thousands remain displaced.

In an October 2025 interview with Esquire, Clooney said he and Amal chose to raise their family on a farm in France to give their children a quiet upbringing away from Hollywood.
“A good part of my life growing up was on farms, and as a kid I hated the whole idea of it,” he said. “But now, for them, it's like—they're not on their iPads, you know? They're having dinner with the adults and they have to pick up their dishes. They're much healthier.”

Clooney also said he was “concerned about raising our children in LA, in the Hollywood culture.”
“I felt like they wouldn't get a good shake in life,” he said. “France – doesn't give a — about fame. I don't want them to go around worrying about the paparazzi. I don't want them to be compared to someone else's famous children.”
