“Preserve and welcome ”
Since 2007, local authorities have joined forces to form a public institution, the Mixed Union of the Great Dune of Pilat. The latter is composed of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, Gironde department and La Teste de Buch municipality.
His role ? The public management of the land within the Grand Site entrusted by the Coastal Conservancy. Alongside its partners, the Joint Syndicate works daily to preserve these fragile environments, ensure their enhancement and their visit in the best possible conditions of reception.
Public action is guided by the national policy of the Great Sites of France, initiated by the State, addressing, like the Dune du Pilat, exceptional landscapes of our heritage.
The Baie de Somme, the Montagne Sainte-Victoire, the Marais Poitevin or the Dune… all have a beauty that makes them attractive and therefore very popular! How to strike a balance between protecting remarkable landscapes, welcoming a large number of visitors and local development?

Safeguard natural spaces and maintain access to them for all
The vocation of the Coastal Conservatory responds to fundamental societal issues: prevent the disappearance and trivialization of natural coastal areas. The heart of its mission is land acquisition, to irreversibly preserve. By purchasing the land, the Conservatoire du littoral protects them in the long term. These lands are then restored and possibly developed in order to maintain the biological, aesthetic and identity richness of our coasts and to allow free access to all.
