More than 42,000 hectares of land around Bordeaux have been ravaged by flames over the past week, forcing some 222,000 people to evacuate their homes.
Although authorities announced on Saturday that the fires were now contained, firefighters warn that ongoing monitoring and targeted extinguishing are still necessary.
Dry, hot conditions combined with wind mean flare-ups could ignite at any time, requiring crews to remain vigilant in the affected areas.
Luxembourgish teams are still in the region, supporting French firefighters as they work to stabilise the situation.
Images shared by the Sapeurs Pompiers de Moyeuvre Grande show Luxembourgish crews dousing smouldering hotspots in a forest landscape now reduced to a barren, lunar-like terrain.
Their efforts are focused on preventing any further outbreaks and ensuring the area remains safe.
Luxembourg deployed a firefighting aircraft and 15 firefighters to the Gironde last Wednesday, joining forces with a unit from the Moselle region.
The mission, initially expected to last around a week, has seen international cooperation at the heart of the response.
French President Emmanuel Macron expressed his gratitude to Luxembourg for its cross-border support in tackling the fires.
