Measuring 3km long, 500m wide and 100m high, this menacing wall of sand would look more at home in the Sahara desert than the west coast of France.
Due to a quirk of nature, the Great Dune of Pyla has grown to become the largest sand dune in Europe and is marauding inland with such force it is swallowing houses, roads and even a forest.

It is located on the Atlantic coast in La Teste-de-Buch, around 60km south-west of Bordeaux, and has ballooned over the centuries to consist of 60million cubic metres of sand.

Nature is fascinating. :thumbsup:
 
Geesh, how would you like to have a house on the eastern side of that monster? I wonder what the property values are like, it must be hard to sell a place that will inevitably be swallowed up.
 
You allow uncontrolled immigration from north Africa and look what happens! 😛

Quick!!! Check it for used condoms {aka "Cony Island Whitefish"}, discarded syringes, and coke cans...


If the results are positive, we'll know what Hurricane Sandy did with our beaches!!
