France is battling two fires that have already scorched nearly 2,000 hectares in a forest south of Paris, as police arrested two people suspected of arson.

The fire erupted in the sprawling Fontainebleau forest, a former royal hunting estate that today is dotted with quiet villages, about 60 kilometres southeast of the capital.

As the region sweltered through its latest heatwave, the wildfire, rare in the north of the country, quickly spread across the UNESCO biosphere reserve, disrupting rail and road traffic during a busy holiday travel long weekend.

Aircraft in the skies and firefighters on the ground have been trying to extinguish the flames.
