A distant paraglider glides through the cloudless sky above the breathtaking convergence of golden beach and azure tidal basin at the foot of Europe's tallest coastal sand dune. Dune du Pilat stands as a testament to the power of wind and waves, having been formed over thousands of years as prevailing westerly winds sculpted an estimated 60 million cubic meters of sand into this mobile natural monument—now the centerpiece of a delicate coastal ecosystem where ongoing conservation efforts balance environmental protection with the site's popularity among over two million annual visitors.
