Rising up out of the pine forest, Dune du Pyla, Europe's largest sand dune, is an unexpected treat. Who knew a pile of sand could be such a draw for people young and old, fit and not-so-fit, who make their way up to the top of this magnificent hill. The frustration of taking one step forward and falling two steps back is rewarded when you reach the top. The beautiful blue of the Atlantic Ocean stretches out before you, varying shades of azure, aquamarine, turquoise, cerillion and navy...
What a beautiful day!
