The Dune du Pyla, an incredible large sandheap (the largest in Europe) at the Cote d'Argent near Boardeaux, Arcachon. Up to 117meters high, 500 meters in width and ca. 2.7km long. (Wikipedia)
It's so much fun to run down the dune at the backside (really steeply there). It's like flying through the air, nearly vertical, always landing soft in the white sand.

Absolutely recommended!
