DISCOVER OUR FALL PROGRAM HERE.
How was the dune of Pilat formed? How has it evolved to the present day? What traces of human occupation have we found there? What peculiarities have developed the plant and animal species present in this fragile ecosystem? What protection measures have been put in place to preserve this exceptional natural monument?
During the rehabilitation work on the reception area, our mediators continue to answer these questions and accompany you to the summit of the highest European mobile sand mountain, while revealing some secrets about the natural and cultural heritage of this territory.
Access conditions following the fire.
With the partial reopening of the Grand Site de la Dune (access to the forest massif is prohibited), our nature guides offer you environmental education tools on the crest of Dune to better understand the riches of this exceptional heritage.
By reading the landscape, they will return with you to the impacts related to the fire (fauna and flora) and will tell you the story of this ocean of greenery intimately linked to the formation of the highest Dune in Europe.
