Dune du Pilat in Arcachon | A wonder of the Sand Sea Forest
❣️ Dune du Pilat is the tallest sand dune in Europe, standing at 110 meters high and stretching approximately 2.7 kilometers. Although climbing it can be somewhat challenging, especially on windy days, the views here are unforgettable on a clear day. From the summit of the dune, one can see the continuous golden sand dunes, with the magnificent Arcachon Bay and the vast Atlantic Ocean on one side, and the extensive pine forests on the other, offering a refreshing and pleasant experience. ❣️ Bordeaux Saint-Jean - Arcachon 👍 Download SNCF to purchase train tickets.
