La Dune du Pilat Nature Reserve in Pyla-Sur-Mer

  • English
    • The Dune du Pilat is the largest dune in Europe and it is a must-see in Gironde. It is also very popular with tourists during the summer season. But if you have the chance to climb it out of season, you will be impressed by this immense deserted sand dune, which flows into the ocean. The view of the Gironde coast on one side and the pine forest on the other side is well worth this climb, especially at sunrise or sunset. Over the years, the dune evolves and the bunkers on the beach disappear ... Each year will offer you a different point of view!
      The climb is steep and the wooden staircase will allow you to access it more easily. On the other hand, it is great fun to run it down in the sand! Souvenir shops, restaurants, bars and ice cream parlors are at your disposal below to immortalize this moment and offer you a well-deserved rest.
