    Camel caravans cross the dune

    From the park’s opening day, Jean Richard’s imagined Sahara comes alive through the oasis, tents and camel rides. The journey makes direct use of the natural sandy expanse and becomes one of La Mer de Sable’s defining early images.

    Camel rides leave the dune

    After the 2006 season, the rides disappear during the major renewal carried out between 2006 and 2007. Their removal ends forty-three years in which the animals had turned the Ermenonville dune into a living Saharan setting.
