The Dune of Pilat / Pyla
Located on the Atlantic coast about 40 miles from Bordeaux is Europe's largest Sand Dune.
It's 2.7Km long, 500M wide and 110 Meters high.
It's impressive - I visited there recently. It's hard work but you can climb to the top.
If you know your Sand Dunes, then you know they are steep on one side - about 34 Degrees.
So why does this interest us.........?
