@ledoigtdansloeilfr
The sun is shining, the sand is soft between your toes and you're ready for a beach day on Europe's tallest sand dune! France isn't known for its beaches as much as it is for historic monuments, like The Louvre and Eiffel Tower, but there are a plethora of hidden seaside towns that are awaiting your discovery — don't miss out on visiting them!

This image was taken from Dune du Pilat, looking onto Banc d'Arguin.
To get to this location from Paris, you'll have to take a three-hour train ride from Paris Gare Montparnasse to Arcachon. Then, you can rent a bicycle or car, or you can take a bus (01 Line) that will drop you off at the edge of the sand dune at the Dune du Pilat stop.
Reference the GPS coordinates when you arrive at the beach and you'll be able to see this west-facing perspective of Banc d'Arguin.
