On 17 August 2021, a devastating forest fire broke out, with a flame as high as 20 meters, in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur near Saint-Tropez. Thousands of people were evacuated, in particular the villages around Cavalaire, Saint-Tropez, Grimaud and La Môle were evacuated. The Var prefecture also confirmed the evacuation of several campsites and urged people to avoid the roads adjacent to the Gulf of Saint-Tropez so as not to hinder rescue.
