George and Amal Clooney have had to leave their residence in France due to wildfires devastating parts of Europe. The couple owns a property in the town of Brignoles in the southeast, but massive fires, which are currently four times the size of Paris, have swept through the region. Along with 200,000 residents and tourists, the Hollywood couple are among those forced to evacuate.
Reports indicate that the Clooneys sent a letter to Brignoles Mayor Didier Brémond regarding the destructive impact of the fires. The letter expressed concern about the fate of their home during this difficult time and emphasized their commitment to the community’s well-being.
The Clooneys’ 172-hectare estate, Domaine de Canadel, was acquired in 2021 for approximately $8.3 million and serves as their main residence where they live with their nine-year-old twins. France is one of the countries severely affected by the wildfires, which have been exacerbated by heatwaves across several European nations.
EU’s emergency response chief has cautioned that the fires could potentially spread to engulf all of Europe, citing the ongoing heatwaves in countries like France, Spain, Greece, and Portugal. The official warned that the upcoming fire season in 2026 could surpass previous records, with Italy expected to face risks in August. The wildfire threat is anticipated to move eastwards after causing devastation in France and the Iberian Peninsula.
