Royan, located in the heart of the green Arvert peninsula between Bordeaux and La Rochelle is well-known for its long beaches of fine sand which separate the ocean from pine forests.
Royan is an invitation to discover one of the richest areas in France in Romanesque edifices with a multitude of churches, abbeys or chapels, châteaux, beautiful parks and lighthouses.

If it is an opportunity to become acquainted with an area of exceptional historical and archeological richness, it is also a privilege to discover the region of Cognac, pineau, oysters, seafood and the wines of the Médoc.

First of all, Royan is a modern and spacious town with its fishing port and marina opening onto the ocean. Lovers of architecture will appreciate the sea front and its boutiques and lively side-walk cafes, the surprisingly modern Notre Dame church, the market, a huge white parasol which always amazes the visitor. But Royan is also a town whose past is steeped in history and where large mansions from the last century recall the fact that Royan was one of the earliest French towns to offer "sea bathing".
