#14: Pilat or Pyla?
Pilat takes its name from the Gascon “Pilot” which means “pile” or “mound”. So, when it comes to the dune, we must write PILAT. Pyla-sur-Mer is the seaside resort near the dune. Its founder Daniel Meller assigned it this spelling in 1920 in order to give it a more elegant and exotic sound.

Recreational fishing on foot is authorized on the Bassin of Arcachon, with the exception of the oyster beds and within a perimeter of 15 meters around.
Enjoy the pleasure of a fishing trip on foot, yes, but not just any way!
The essentials for fishing on foot and for leisure activities:
- Know and respect the minimum fishing sizes, or “mesh”.
- Remember to sort your catches as you fish: re-bury shells that are too small.
- Only fish for what you plan to consume as a family.
- Get informed regularly on regulations, sizes and authorized quantities.
