By Tassilo Hummel MARSEILLE, France (Reuters) -A fast-moving wildfire reached the outskirts of France's second most populous city of Marseille on Tuesday, prompting the closure of the airport and an order to residents to stay indoors because of the smoke.

A wildfire in southern France on Tuesday forced Marseille airport to close and interrupted train traffic as the blaze spread rapidly to the edges of the city.

Flights to and from Marseille have been suspended and traffic at the city’s main train station was disrupted due to a wildfire near the southern French port city.
