Fires in Gironde: partial unemployment, loss of activity … the avenues studied by Bercy to support professionals

On the ground, firefighters continue to fight the fire. In Gironde, a few meters from the Dune du Pilat, the fire has already devastated everything. Five campsites went up in smoke despite the determination of the firefighters. “We will be there to accompany you”, promised President Emmanuel Macron, this Wednesday, July 20, during his trip to support professionals in the sector. Dozens of traders, ice cream parlors, restaurateurs and even hoteliers have been ordered to close up shop or evacuate. For those who can still accommodate customers, the tourist season promises to be catastrophic.
