There's nothing quite like a weekend at the beach, sandy toes, salty hair and the sound of the ocean, perfect! G and I took our friends from back home (and of course Peanut) to visit the bay of Arcachon on the West coast of France, not far from Bordeaux.
This part of the world is home to the tallest sand dune in Europe - Dune du Pilat. The dune has a volume of about 60,000,000 m³, measuring around 500m
wide from east to west and 2.7 km in length from north to south. Its
height is currently 110m above sea level which makes the views over the Landes forest and the Atlantic just breathtaking.
We took our kite and spent a few hours enjoying the open space and the sunshine!
One of my other favourite things about the beach is Nautical fashion, or
as the French (and Japanese) call it "Marine" fashion. I just love all
things Red,White and Blue, stripes, dots, anchors and sailor hats, there
is something very classic yet cheeky about it all.
Anyone seen my hat and sunglasses???
