Grand Site de la Dune du Pilat

Reaching right down to the ocean, this 104 meter high huge dune is blindingly white under the sun. The sand accumulates as it is relentlessly devouring the forest with a seafront of almost 3 km. A unique phenomenon by virtue of its alone, the view from the summit is quite simply remarkable.
