View of the dune

Highlight (Segment) • Other

Car-free greenway with a view of the highest dune in Europe following the fire that ravaged the region. Before that, the trees prevented admiring it like this.
You will pass by the various campsites that are being rebuilt following their destruction, including the famous "Flots Bleus".

Along the Atlantic

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.

The EuroVelo route 1 (in France called Vélodyssée) is here a well-paved trail through the pine forests, a little set back from the sea, with many access spurs to the endless sandy beaches running parallel.

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.
