Trapped by flames: George Clooney and his family flee the fires in France
"Wildfires are raging across much of Europe, and France is one of the hardest-hit countries. More than 300,000 people have been evacuated between France and Spain, and one of the affected families is that of George and Amal Clooney
The Oscar winner said that he, his wife Amal Clooney and their 9-year-old twins, Alexander and Ella, had to flee their residence in Brignoles, a small town in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of southeastern France.
At this point we have no idea whether our beautiful home makes it through this terrible moment,” the Clooneys wrote in a letter to the mayor of Brignoles, Didier Brémond.
According to CNN, around 224,000 people were evacuated in the French region of Gironde and another 3,000 in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region.
According to French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez, this could be the largest peacetime evacuation in France.
The couple offered their help in rebuilding their village: “As we evacuate Brignoles we want to emphasise 2 things, first we hope you and the people of our city are safe and second that Amal and I are committed to making sure that whatever happens to our village, we are part of this community and we’ll be part of making it whole. We love Brignoles and our friends who live there,” they said in the letter.
In 2021, the Clooney family acquired a property and vineyard area in Brignoles, in the Var department. It is a place where they have decided to raise their children, twins Ella and Alexander, who attend school in the area
The estate includes a 900 square meter 18th-century mansion, with a swimming pool and tennis court.
The property, which cost them around $7.7 million (about €6.7 million), covers 172 hectares of land, including forests, an olive grove, a vineyard, a lake and a lavender field."
