The
largest dune in Europe - Dune du Pyla - set in the largest wooded area
in France, Landes Forest, next to the Atlantic Ocean and the little town
of Arcachon.
This
stretch of sand is one of France's best beach zones, known as the Cote d'Argent, and runs more-or-less for 200kms south
to Biarritz, the largest mass of sand in Europe and relatively people

The nearest town of Arcachon is a couple of kilometres from the Dune Du Pyla and comprises mainly a tiny, friendly centre surrounded by a vast
number of fantastic, rarely used mansions.

The
village of Arcachon is tiny and perfectly formed though encircled
by vast summer mansions of wealthy Parisians.
