The massive golden arc of Dune du Pilat stretches dramatically along France's Atlantic coast, framing the narrow maritime entrance to Bassin d'Arcachon where incoming tides create powerful currents. This colossal sand dune, standing 110 meters tall with a volume equivalent to 22 Great Pyramids of Giza, represents the pinnacle of a dynamic coastal dune system that has been migrating eastward since its formation in the 18th century, gradually consuming nearby forests while serving as a natural laboratory for studying coastal processes.
