Visit the Dune du Pilat from the campsite
The Dune du Pilat is a gigantic dune nearly 3 km long, over 600 meters wide, and 110 meters high, stretching from north to south, between the Côte d’Argent and the Landes forest. Among the campsites located on the Gironde coast, Domaine de la Forge is the best place to discover the most beautiful tourist sites. Indeed, you’ll be just a few kilometers away from the Bird Island. Its formation dates back millions of years. The grains of sand, resulting from the erosion of mountains, were carried by rivers to the ocean. Upon reaching the entrance to the Arcachon Bay, the accumulated sand met a major obstacle: a pine forest. As the accumulation of sand at the entrance to the Arcachon Bay was particularly significant, a dune gradually formed between the ocean and the natural barrier responsible for its birth, the forest. Today, the highest dune in Europe is one of the most visited natural sites in France. It ranks alongside the Mont-Saint-Michel Bay, another great natural gem of the country. It is part of the Grands Sites de France network and can be visited freely year-round. Access is completely free, and outdoor sports such as paragliding are practiced there. However, parking is chargeable.
Aside from its history and record dimensions, the Dune du Pilat attracts visitors with the wonderful landscapes visible from its summit. Close to the Atlantic Ocean, the Arcachon Bay, its coastline, the Banc d'Arguin, and several kilometers of fine sandy beaches. On the other side, the green canopy of the Landes forest. You’ll never see anything as beautiful as the Pilat panorama. After taking some photos, you’ll enjoy walking on the dune and running down it with your friends or children, and you can even try paragliding from the Dune du Pilat! After the visit, you can buy postcards and souvenirs from the shops at the foot of the dune and have a drink before heading back to the campsite. Don’t forget to watch the sunset from the top of the Dune du Pilat. A panoramic view awaits you.
