A helmeted pilot steadies the control bar of an ultralight aircraft while surveying the boundary where Arcachon's urban development meets the exposed tidal flats of France's largest coastal lagoon. This unique aerial vantage point reveals the careful planning that has guided development along the basin's southern shore since the 1850s, when Arcachon was established as a therapeutic resort town, creating a model of sustainable coastal urbanism that now helps protect critical wetland habitats that support over 250 bird species and Europe's largest seagrass meadows.
