Tourists walk on a beach as the smoke from wildfires raging in the Aude Department is seen from the Mediterranean coast in Banyuls-sur-Mer, southwestern France, on Tuesday. A fire that broke out on the afternoon of Tuesday in Ribaute has burned 4,000 hectares of forest and scrubland in just a few hours before reaching the village of Saint-Laurent-de-la-Cabrerisse, where one person died and houses were destroyed.
