Thousands of people have been evacuated in the coastal Var department, around the villages of Grimaud and La Môle near Saint Tropez.
Twelve campsites were also evacuated, the regional Prefecture said on Twitter.
The fire broke out on Monday at the Sigues motorway service area, about 100km northeast of Toulon.
By Wednesday, it had travelled 22 kilometres, burning 5,000 hectares of forests and damaging around 100 houses.
At least 24 people -- including five firefighters -- have also been slightly injured, most suffering from smoke inhalation.
some hope that during the night things will calm down but we have no certainty," said prefect Evence Richard during a press conference.
