La Dune de Pilat, yesterday I wrote about the biggest area of sand dunes in Europe, the Slowinski National Park at the Polish Baltic Sea coast. The day before there was a story from Cap Ferret at the French Atlantic coast. Now I realize the connection between these photos. When looking beyond the boats, helplessly spread around in the sand waiting for tide, there is a huge sand dune, licked and redesigned by the Atlantic waves. And this one is the biggest single sand dune of our continent, measuring 2500 meters total length and 1500 meters width. On the top you are 120 meters above the waves. This is La Dune de Pilat. I have not been on the top, but I guess it's like so many other things in France – just magnifique.
