Dune de Pilat, Arcachon Bay

An hours drive from Carcans lies the Arcachon Bay which is home to the 'Dune de Pilat', the tallest sand dune in Europe.

There are two ways to get to the top of this mammoth sand dune, one of the methods being the steps, thoughtfully created for those that do not wish to battle against the forces of the dune. The other, however is more of a 'two steps forward one step backward' approach (aka via the soft white sand). The struggle to the top of this 107metre dune is well worth it once you reach the top, as you have amazing panoramic views of the ocean on one side and the immense stretch of luscious green forest on the other. The expanse of soft white sand stretches as far as the eye can see.














A wonderful day was had… Its safe to say we'll all sleep well tonight.

Thanks for reading,
