A fire raging in the historic and much-visited Fontainebleau forest south of Paris on Monday has prompted evacuations and disrupted train and highway traffic.
Authorities say the fire, which has destroyed nearly five percent of the 25,000-hectare forest, could have been started by arson.
It comes as the region is endures its third heatwave of the summer, with tinder-dry vegetation and high temperatures fuelling blazes.
