A brilliant crimson paraglider wing cuts a dramatic figure against the pristine golden slope of Dune du Pilat and the layered blues of the Arcachon Basin beyond. This magnificent coastal formation—growing from humble beginnings as a simple sand spit in the 18th century—now stands as Europe's tallest mobile sand dune, advancing inland at rates between one and five meters annually as it gradually consumes the ancient pine forest behind it while simultaneously creating one of the world's most breathtaking venues for free flight.
