Nice seaside resort less than an hour from Bordeaux. Classy streets, a weird casino and a lift that takes you from the beach up to the gardens 100m high overlooking the town.
Drove south along the coast and arrived at 'Pyla Sur Mer' home to Europes largest and tallest sand dune. It's huge,is moving 4 meters a year in land and ...
