Let the Great Dune work its magic on you. On arriving, you’ll surely be impressed by its size (109m high, 2.7 km long and 60 million m3 of grains of sand), and don’t imagine that you’ll be alone! Take a run-up then head up the dune, either on the sand or on the stairway. Reaching the top is an emotional experience, as you witness an exceptional panorama over all the marvels that the Bassin d’Arcachon has to offer: the Arguin Bank, the forest, the Cap-Ferret lighthouse, etc. It’s been a listed site since 1978, and the spirit of the place will remain intact until the next time you come back again.
