Dune Du Pyla

Near Bordeaux, in a place called Teste-du-Bush at Arcachon bay, I went to a place called Dune Du Pyla and it is also called Sand Dune.  Its height is 110m above the sea level and it is in between the Atlantic ocean and a big forest.  It is the biggest sand dune in Europe and it is observed to be slowly moving inward into the forest.

I had lots of fun there because it was really sandy and very soft. When I was coming down on the slope of the sand hill, if you pushed the sand a bit, it flows like water.

 There are lots of sand dunes around the world like, northwest of India and in parts of the southwestern United States.

Dunes form when the sea wind pushes sand against an obstacle like grass or trees on the beach.  Over time, it becomes a small hill of sand.

Bordeaux and St.Emilion

In my holidays I went to Bordeaux and St Emilion.

In Bordeaux I went to a place called Place de la Bourse, where there was water sprayed like smoke from the ground like in Vulcania! But this was much bigger space, so that it feels like you are inside the clouds.

Bordeaux is just like Toulouse but in Bordeaux most of the people know English.

I learned more from the internet about Bordeaux and St Emilion that they are famous for lot of wine yards. Bordeaux is located close to the European Atlantic Coast. The city is built on a bend of the river Garonne, and is divided into two parts: The right bank in the East and the left bank in the West.

In St Emilion, we rode on a Petit train through the wine yards. We could only see a little bit of grapes, because they had already harvested all the grapes to make wines. We then went inside the village and we went to the top of the King’s Castle. From the top of the castle, the view of the village was really beautiful.
