Dune du Pilat hosts Remonter le temps on 31 October 2026, a guided visit about archaeology and the long history of the landscape in La Teste-de-Buch. The event takes place at the Grand Site, where the natural setting preserves traces of human activity across several periods. The local name is also Dune du Pilat.
Remonter le temps explores the dune on 31 October
The Office de Tourisme de La Teste-de-Buch lists Remonter le temps from 10.30am to midday on 31 October 2026. The programme presents the site as a natural and heritage archive, with the dune linked to the history of the Pays de Buch and its inhabitants.
The visit follows archaeological discoveries made over several years. These finds provide evidence about earlier communities and their ways of life, including the oldest human occupations and prehistoric periods. The official event listing gives the date, time and meeting point.
Archaeology connects the landscape with the Pays de Buch
The visit places the dune within a wider local history rather than treating it only as a viewpoint. Its subject is the relationship between the natural site, the people who occupied the surrounding area and the evidence recovered through archaeological work.
The Grand Site describes the dune as a classified natural site whose layers preserve traces from different periods. The official site also records its membership of the Network of Grands Sites de France. That status connects the event's archaeological theme with the place's formal heritage setting.
