The Dune of Pilat

The Dune of Pilat (officially known as Dune du Pyla) was our next stop. Dune du Pyla is a real paradise for paragliders (two of them we had in our car). The tallest sand dune in Europe - this sentence made us feel extremely excited.




We got to the place late in the evening. We found a parking in the middle of the forest where we saw a caption: "4 Euro". Thoughtlessly, we parked our car there. Suddenly a question arose in our minds: "Does the price include overnight stay?". Unfortunately, we didn't care about the answer ... Having changed our clothes we started to explore the greatness of this place! We pumped up our mattress, then we did a quick bath and dressed in layers as the weather at night was very windy. We started to climb the dune. The darkness didn't allow us to precise our exact location, but after 40 minutes of scramble, we landed on the top of the dune. At that time, no one of us could realise what would we see in the early morning ..
