(FILES) This photograph shows a general view of the Fontainebleau forest from a section of the 25 bumps hiking path, near Noisy-sur-Ecole, south of Paris on August 6, 2025. A rocky chaos, oceanic sands, a fairy pond: former hunting estate of the kings of France, the Fontainebleau forest is a vast massif southeast of Paris, a green lung of exceptional biodiversity. On the morning of July 13, 2026, an extraordinary fire had swept through some 800 hectares of the massif's 25,000 hectares - including 23,000 ha of public forest, managed by the National Forestry Office (ONF). This is the worst fire since those of 1921 (762 hectares) and 1945 (825 ha), according to archives dating back to 1863, notes Sophie David, head of the environment and public reception department at ONF Ile-de-France-Est and archaeologist specializing in Fontainebleau.
