Two tiny human silhouettes stand at the summit of the massive Dune du Pilat, dwarfed by the monumental landscape and gathering storm clouds above the Atlantic horizon. This iconic French coastal formation, shaped by wind and ocean currents over millennia, offers visitors not only breathtaking panoramic views but also a visceral experience of geological time, where the seemingly solid ground beneath their feet is actually migrating inland at measurable rates, consuming approximately 8,000 square meters of forest annually in its slow but relentless march eastward.
