The landscape will no longer be the same as it was a fortnight ago for those who will climb this Wednesday on the crest of the Dune du Pilat. Closed for fifteen days due to the fire at La Teste-de-Buch, this listed site which overlooks the Arcachon basin is reopening to the general public.
But not just anyhow indicated the Gironde prefecture. Access to it will be “in secure conditions and with guided paths”.
“In the absence at this time of sufficient security, access to the burned massifs remains prohibited. The departmental road 218 which connects La Teste-de-Buch to Biscarrosse, from the roundabout of the dune to the limit of the department of Landes, will remain closed until the complete security of the roadway and the surroundings, “continues a press release from the State services.
To get there, the general public will have to take the bus from the Parc des Expositions in La Teste-de-Buch, or take lines 3 or 101 or 102 Express.
