km long<\/strong>, the <strong>highest dune in Europe<\/strong> offers a striking contrast on the forest, sand and ocean. But did you know that this monument is constantly evolving? The Dune du Pilat cannot stand still! Under wind action, it <strong>moves 1 to 5 meters<\/strong> per year towards the forest massif. Its evolution is closely studied by scientists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A remarkable site to be protected for future generations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Symbols of the rich natural heritage of the Arcachon Basin, <strong>these fragile landscapes are protected by law<\/strong>. <strong>The<\/strong> <strong>Dune du Pilat and the La Teste-de-Buch user forest are classified<\/strong> on the departmental list of natural monuments and sites (under the <strong>Environmental Code<\/strong>). The implementation of this legislation is the responsibility of the State and its decentralized services (Regional Directorate for the Environment, Planning and Housing).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/ladunedupilat.com\/en\/i-discover\/mixed-union-mission\/\">Find out more: Protection issues<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-uagb-columns uagb-columns__wrap uagb-columns__background-none uagb-columns__stack-mobile uagb-columns__valign- uagb-columns__gap-10 align uagb-block-82e45058 uagb-columns__columns-1 uagb-columns__max_width-custom chapo\"><div class=\"uagb-columns__overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"uagb-columns__inner-wrap uagb-columns__columns-1\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-column uagb-column__wrap uagb-column__background-undefined uagb-block-d299216b\"><div class=\"uagb-column__overlay\"><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Nothing but sand, transparent water, pine forests, wooden huts<br>(Jean Hugo, great-grandson of Victor Hugo)<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A powerful encounter between the forest, the dune and the ocean<\/p>","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"parent":280,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-254","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":false,"thumbnail":false,"medium":false,"medium_large":false,"large":false,"1536x1536":false,"2048x2048":false,"trp-custom-language-flag":false,"post-thumbnail":false,"twentytwenty-fullscreen":false},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"communication@ladunedupilat.com","author_link":"https:\/\/ladunedupilat.com\/en\/author\/communicationladunedupilat-com\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Une rencontre puissante entre la for\u00eat, la dune et l\u2019oc\u00e9an","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ladunedupilat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/254","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ladunedupilat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ladunedupilat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ladunedupilat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ladunedupilat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=254"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/ladunedupilat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/254\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27708,"href":"https:\/\/ladunedupilat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/254\/revisions\/27708"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ladunedupilat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/280"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ladunedupilat.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=254"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
