Dune du Pilat in France, the Tallest Sand Dune in Europe
The Dune of Pilat, also called Grande Dune du Pilat is the tallest sand dune in Europe. It is located in La Teste-de-Buch in the Arcachon Bay area, France, 60 km from Bordeaux.
The dune has a volume of about 60,000,000 cubic metres, measuring around 500 metres wide from east to west and 2.7 km in length from north to south. Its height is currently 110 metres above sea level. The dune is a famous tourist destination with more than one million visitors per year.
The dune is considered a foredune, meaning a dune that runs parallel to a shoreline, behind the high tide line of a beach. The dune has been observed to move landward, slowly pushing the forest back to cover houses, roads and portions of the Atlantic Wall. To back this evidence of coastal movement, maps from 1708 and 1786 both place areas with the name Pilat to the south and off-shore of the current dune's location. The area where the dune currently stands was referred to Les Sabloneys or the New Sands until the 1930s when it was renamed by real estate developers as the Dune of Pilat. Pilat originates from the Gascon word Pilhar, which refers to a heap or mound.
You can climb the side or the stairs to its peak. The long side faces the Atlantic, and there is a small cafe on the beach. Be careful if you are barefoot or in sandals, the sand gets pretty hot in the sun.

Сейшелы. Орёл и Решка. Перезагрузка-3 (Russian, English subtitles)
Орёл и Решка. Перезагрузка-3 (Heads and Tails. Reloaded) завершает свое грандиозное путешествие на Сейшелах (Seychelles Islands)! Республика Сейшельские Острова - это удивительное государство, в которое входят 115 райски прекрасных островов. И это прекрасная возможность для Насти Ивлеевой и Евсея Ковалева напоследок перезагрузиться по максимуму. Максимум солнца, мягкого песочка, улыбок местных жителей и необитаемой красоты Сейшел. Здесь мы подружились с огромной черепахой, которой 180 лет. Ели селедку под шубой на берегу Индийского океана, поймали рифовую акулу и своими глазами увидели муча - древний танец рабов.
