A sun-bleached wooden walkway creates a geometric counterpoint to the natural landscape as it guides visitors through protected dune habitat toward the Atlantic shoreline. This carefully engineered structure at Sentier de l'Abécédaire represents a cornerstone of France's coastal conservation strategy, channeling approximately 2 million annual visitors away from sensitive dune vegetation while highlighting the country's commitment to maintaining public beach access under the 1986 Coastal Law (Loi Littoral) that established a delicate balance between environmental protection and France's long-standing tradition of free coastal access for all citizens.
