A town with a rich architectural heritage
Aside from its beaches, Royan is also a town with a unique architectural heritage. Largely destroyed during the Second World War, it was rebuilt in a modern, avant-garde style in the 1950s. The Église Notre-Dame de Royan, with its raw concrete architecture, is an emblematic example of this reconstruction and is worth a visit for its singular design.

Staying in a Clévacances holiday rental will allow you to take full advantage of the unique atmosphere of this town between tradition and modernity.

Culture lovers won't be left out with the Musée de Royan, which traces the town's history, or the Marchés Couvert and Marché Central, where you can discover local produce and sample regional specialities. Cultural events are also plentiful, especially in summer with music festivals and open-air shows.
