About
Between the Capes de Carteret and Le Rozel, the mighty Hatainville dune range rises to over 80 metres, covering ancient cliffs over 70,000 years old. From the sea to the top of the massif, the vegetation grows in tiers, creating a mosaic that changes with the tides, sea spray, winds and freshwater inflows. Many rare species dress the dunes in colors that change with the seasons: from the blue of sea rye to the yellow and brown of spider ophrys, from the mauve of thyme to the bright pink of the pyramidal orchid.
