The fire chiefs say that while the fires now around the Bordeaux region are largely stable, they are still not under control.
A change in the wind can make a huge difference.
It's been so dry, there just hasn't been any rainfall in weeks yet.
And now the temperatures, which are fairly all right at the moment, it's sort of 24 degrees around Bordeaux, they are going up this week, going back up to the high 30s from Wednesday.
And that will affect the fires.
It will affect how people are able to operate in the heat in order to survive.
fight those fires, but also how all the people living in the conference centre, in makeshift housing or sleeping outside are going to cope.
It's going to be a tough week for everyone there.
A lot of that at the moment has been in the shape of the Canadair waterplanes, which have come from parts of Europe and they're expecting more.
And these are the planes that skim over the water, pick up the seawater or river water and dump it over the fires, which is a very common way in the area of trying to control fires.
They've also brought in the army officers.
With a new army plane to do a similar thing, it's very much all hands on deck, anything they can get to try to control those fires that are still raging.
