THE PILAT DUNE
You who come to spend your holidays on the basin of Arcachon, can not avoid the sumptuous Dune du Pilat, located at the entrance of the basin on the commune of Teste de Buche, Gironde. Beyond simple grains of sand, the Dune du Pilat is an exceptional natural monument that has its history and its secrets.
4000 years of history and not a wrinkle. The dune is in an exceptional environment but is threatened by the urbanization of the littoral. For this purpose the State classifies part of the site under the law of 2 May 1930 in order to preserve it.
the Pilat Dune is an exceptional natural monument that has its history and its secrets
Between the ocean and the forest, the voluptuous Dune du Pilat (2.7km long, 500m wide and over 109m high) has its secrets of beauty. It reveals at nightfall the uniqueness of its sunsets, which change with the tides of the tides, clouds, places or forms of the dune. Its sand mostly made of quartz grains, is one of the finest in France. The dune of the Pilat with the remarkable and inescapable character does only at its head. It rolls on itself and moves from 1 to 5 meters per year towards the forest.
It is breathtaking but once on the summit reveals a landscape often lunar, wild and amazing, to the delight of nature lovers.
