Subjects : Seascape overlooking the Bay of Biscay, the Dune of Pilat is the highest dune in Europe with a length of almost 3km. It offers its best show at sunrise and sunset. Extremely crowded tourist destination in the summer as a result it is advisable to visit the place in winter. Around the dune there is not much to eat so it is advisable to gear up in Arcachon where there are bars and restaurants (many closed in the winter season but something is in any case located). Visiting the dune does not require particular physical skills and the sandy paths that lead to its summit are always well accessible.

Recommended equipment : Very windy place with very thin sand we recommend tropicalized equipment

Best months : Autumn, winter, summer is a very crowded place.

How to get there : From Bordeaux there is a regional train that arrives in Arcachon in 50 'more or less. Once in Arcachon there is a bus just outside the train station that leads directly to the dune in about 30 '.

Visits : Admission is free and there is a kind of village equipped with bathrooms and so on. The dune is always accessible at any time.
