Pilat Dune

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Pilat dune is the highest in Europe. Despite its size, it is fragile. The climb is worth it! The bravest don't take the stairs: the sand will heat up your thighs and calves! The view at its top is breathtaking.

Highlight (Segment) • Other

South of Arcachon you no longer drive only through forests and therefore have the opportunity to see the sea, hopefully in good weather.

View of the Dune

Highlight (Segment) • Other

Cycle path protected from cars, with a view of the Dune, the highest in Europe, following the fire which ravaged the region.
Before that we could not admire it like this due to the trees.
You will pass by the various campsites which are being rebuilt following their destruction, including the famous "Flots Bleus"
