From the open cockpit of an ultralight aircraft, a helmeted pilot surveys the immense tidal basin of Arcachon where retreating waters reveal vast exposed sandbanks stretching toward coastal communities on the horizon. This remarkable aerial perspective, possible only through low-altitude flight, reveals the complex interplay between natural processes and human development along France's Atlantic coast, where careful management of the 155-square-kilometer lagoon maintains both ecological health and the thriving tourism economy that supports 100,000 seasonal residents during summer months.
