Royan

Our hotel in Royan center is an excellent base for exploring the town.

 Royan was devastated, then rebuilt in the 1950s, with a new architectural style. Visit the tourist office to take a guided tour and learn more about Royan and its 1950s architecture!

 Every day (except Monday), the more than 150 traders and producers of the Royan Central Market welcome you to present the region's specialties.

 The real must-see: opposite the Family Golf Hotel, you will find the Plage de la Grande Conche. You can enjoy activities, swimming and sunbathing there. In the summer, from mid-June, the municipality installs deckchairs on the beach (accessible by reservation and at an additional cost).

 Royan is waiting for you!

One of the most beautiful villages in France

Talmont-sur-Gironde

Located less than 30 minutes from Royan, Talmont-sur-Gironde is a must-see in the region. Perched on its rocky promontory, Talmont-sur-Gironde watches over the Gironde estuary.

During your stroll through Talmont-sur-Gironde, you'll appreciate the authenticity of this village. A leap back in time awaits you as you admire the Sainte-Radegonde church and the white houses with blue shutters.

A craft village

On the banks of the Seudre, this former fishing and trading port will charm you with its authentic charm, its vestiges of another era, and its numerous artisan shops.

Stroll through the cobbled streets of the center and discover the monuments of another time, the multicolored cabins, and the traditional houses.

The other must-do activity in Mornac-sur-Seudre is renting a paddleboard or a canoe-kayak, for lovely trips along the water at your own pace.

You'll get superb panoramas of the ocean and the surrounding nature. Breathtaking landscapes await you.

For the most determined among you, the Vélodyssée passes through the Wild Coast. We recommend stopping at the Coubre lighthouse, which has been watching over the Gironde estuary since 1905.

Seafood tastings

 The must-do activity in La Tremblade is to participate in a seafood tasting.

 Bordered by the ocean and a generous pine forest, La Tremblade will charm you with its Ronce-les-Bains district, its many restaurants, its beautiful walks in the heart of nature and its surf spots.

Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site

The Cordouan Lighthouse

After more than 400 years of existence, the Cordouan Lighthouse, the "King of Lighthouses," continues to guide sailors navigating the Gironde Estuary. Strong winds and waves constantly batter the lighthouse, which has been maintained by keepers 24/7 since its construction in 1611.

Taking a guided tour of the Cordouan Lighthouse is a unique opportunity to interact with the keepers, who are passionate about France's oldest lighthouse still in operation.
