Top 41 things to do and attractions in Royan

Large and wide beach with fine sand and nice walking and biking paths. On the other side you can enjoy great oldstyle villas and a few superb new ones too.

Miles of beautiful white sand, with picturesque blue and white tents to hire. Massive plus point was free WiFi on the beach. Would recommend as a lovely day out with the family, definitely a place to relax for an day, or even just an afternoon.

Excellent beach. Sand is very flat under the water so there’s a lot of space to play in the surf without going too deep too quickly. Very warm too.

Beach was really nice, sand was not typical of beaches in Europe. Very fine and not grainy. Accessible and has public toilets

Large beach in river mouth. Long walk to the sea when the tide is out. Good for families as lifeguards and shallow water.

Ok

Peace, love, and death metal.

Wasn't expecting much when we planned our visit but it's really well layed out with plenty to see. The kids enjoyed it as well as feeding the goats. We were here 3 to 4 hours

It was a great day out, our 6 yr old twins really enjoyed the mixed bag of attractions (reptiles, spiders, dinosaur models, Indian teepes,goats to cuddle, trampoline). We spent around 4 hours and just wish we had taken a picnic as there was a very comfortable seating area for that. We paid an extra 3€ for the goats feed which was worth it.

Great day out for the family. Fantastic collection of reptiles and a great garden/park walk that winds its way around the lakes full of ducks, fish and otters. The park has piles of dinosaur models, some interactive. Included in the price is a small go-cart course at the far end of the garden and trampolines at the end of the route. A mini farm of goats and alpacas too. You can also see the breeding tanks with baby snakes etc. It also has a nice chill out area with a snack bar near the end of the route. A really excellent day out - good luck getting the kids out of the gift shop!

Wonderful place, huge, can take all day. The reptiles were lovely and there were expansive gardens. Huge grounds and diverse activities. Four stars because not sure about the racist/imperialist shrunken heads and the brownface spectacles. That was dated and culturally insensitive, especially with the emphasis on cannibaliam.

Great value spent hours there ,plenty ro see and do

Very nice, beautiful place with dinosaurs and Indian village, and living reptiles. Nuggets and fried potatoes are delicious!

Nice combination of zoo, park and dinosaur exhibition. Lots of small interesting touches, like a Japanese garden with a few bonsai, a bamboo forest, koi carps. Try the paddle boat tour if you have some time. Great day out with kids. But bring your own packed lunch, as the snack bar has very slim pickings.

Superb market with lots of wonderful stalls both inside and out. The prices are a little more expensive than surrounding shops but it has to be a must visit for anyone coming to Royan

Just amazing. If you like food, you must visit. Fabulous fresh produce, great seafood, including stalls selling fresh oysters to eat there. A great experience and not overly expensive

Brilliant market with semi permanent sites inside and plenty on the outside. Food we bought was brilliant. Some of the quality of the bits outside was a bit low.

Beautiful market with fresh regional meat, fish, fruit and produce. Prices are competitive with supermarkets and the staff is very friendly. I highly recommend the fruit stand and the huitres!

I like the design of their covered market. Many selections of fresh seafoods and fresh local produce.

Probably the coolest town market I've ever seen. Looks like a giant clamshell made of concrete. Inside is a bustle of activity with many local, fresh products for sale. We bought some coffe and the vendor was super enthusiatic about his product and informative about it's origins. There was a Sunday market going on outside around the structure. Really cool from an architecture and shopping viewpoint, recommend a stop.

One of the best markets in the Charente Maritime. Fabulous selection of fresh produce. Added bonus - a fantastic chilli stall.

What a fabulous church! If brutalism is your bag (and I'd argue even if it isn't) you are going to be wow-ed by the scale and feel of this holy space. So many details from the 3D stained glass windows to the thoughtfully designed walkways and staircases. Royan is a lovely place but it would be worth visiting for this church alone!

Stunning brutalist church overflowing with character and style. It is hard to really describe how imposing and impressive it is to see a tall concrete structure like this. Really dominates the attention. The inside reveals an almost unreal mix of the stark concrete and and fine details, the way they worked in the windows and stained glass makes it pop and also fit in with the bland gray. Europe is full of impressive churches and cathedrals but this one stands alone as unique.

What a stunning cathedral which takes the shaoe of a very large ship in the seaside town of Royan. The reinforced concrete monument is thus part of the general movement for the renewal of sacred art after the sad events experienced by the world in the 1940s. It is considered today as a feat and a masterpiece.

Weird church rebuilt after WWII by using poured concrete.

Beautiful architecture, i've never seen a church like that before. Worth visiting.

As we approached from a side street it looked more like a grain silo, but once round the corner we could see some styling. Inside it is easy to forget it made from concrete, the windows and space worked well together

One of many examples of Royan's post war architecture, and definitely one that sticks out! The church is rebuild in the 50s, in 'fast' concrete, after most of the town was bombarded in january 1945. Architect Guillaume Gillet was in charge. He used V-shapes (by ingenieur Lafaille) for the main structure - emphasizing Victory. From the outside it may appear like a brute beast, but once inside the elegance becomes visible in smart geometric shapes, curved lines and a beautiful light play. At night the church is lit up in different colours, to highlight Royan's unique skyline. Worth a visit! ✌🏼

Absolutely delightful , very informative, the Henri de journal painting were exquisite

Museum tells the story of the town from iron age to present, lots of information about the resistance in ww2 which I found interesting, English guide pamphlet available, exhibit descriptions in French (obviously)

Amazing !! Very informative but could have done with something to translate, either the headphones or a guide book of the exhibits. Still really really good though.

Nice museum and lots to learn.

(Translated by Google) This small museum is truly interesting because it reveals a great deal about Royan's history between the Neolithic period and the 1960s. The common thread is the town's connection to the ocean, which brought both prosperity and danger throughout its history. The sieges of 1622 and 1945 mark the most tragic moments, while salt, fishing, voyages to America, and sea bathing each ensured the town's success. A must-see. (Original) Ce petit musée est vraiment intéressant car il apprend énormément de choses sur l’histoire de Royan entre le néolithique et les années 1960. Le fil conducteur est le lien de la ville avec l’océan qui apportera à la fois la prospérité et le danger tout au long de l’histoire de la ville. Le siège de 1622 et celui de 1945 marquent les heures les plus tragiques alors que le sel, la pêche, les voyages vers l’Amérique ou les bains de mer assurent tour à tour la réussite de la ville. A voir.

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful museum retracing the history of Royan, and no one bothers to linger! The museum is very well organized in chronological order, and even includes a temporary exhibition. The staff is welcoming, and the museum is quite large. In addition, there's a small shop with goodies and books related to the history of Royan. I recommend it if you're a local or just passing through the coast👍🏻 (Original) Très beau musée qui retrace l’histoire de Royan dans lequel personne s’y attarde ! Le musée est très bien organisé dans l’ordre chronologique avec même une exposition temporaire. L’équipe est accueillante et le musée assez grand. De plus, une petite boutique est disponible avec des goodies mais aussi des livres en rapport avec l’histoire de Royan. Je recommande si vous êtes riverains ou de passage sur la côte👍🏻

We would love to visit the terrace restaurant but our little dog is not allowed according to the sign. Good selection of food with a lovely view of the beach and sea.

Waiters friendly & helpful. Buffet is varied and very good. Unfortunately I had a problem: Ordered my meat "medium" it arrived "well done", sent back, it came "rare". Next time, and I will go back, I shall order the "gambas" prawns.

There's something fishy about the card shuffling machines at the Blackjack tables here I play casually, since I know that the house always has an edge, so I treat the visit here as a fun time-out and don't expect to win money But the hands the dealers had compared to most players at the tables give the impression that the game might be rigged in the house's favor, as what I've experienced is statistically improbable over the hundreds of hands I've seen. The dealer seems to hit 20 and 21 very often, and players seem to get low cards very often as well when the dealer has an ace or 10. He would also rarely bust. If this happens every now and then it's fine, it's just statistics. But if it happens on average 7 out of 10 hands over a 100 hands, it doesn't add up. It could just be pure luck, but there were other shady occurrences I noticed here... Part of the reason I dislike automatic shuffling machines, but obviously the casino prefers them so that they don't have to deal with card counters That being said, the staff themselves are very friendly and the overall atmosphere is nice, it's just that losing so often and so frequently discourages me from ever setting foot here again

Wouldn’t let me in because I have a German residency card and they refused to understand that this means I won’t have a visa in my foreign passport

Do not go to this casino Barriere Royan under any circumstances. The rudest and most unprofessional people work here. I have been to many other casinos in this chain and was happy with everything. It is simply a shame that such people work here. Avoid this casino whenever possible.

Restaurant excellent !

Waited for blackjack table for 1 hour, as usual French people kept skipping manhandling themselves to take the space, skipping the queue when someone left, and after about 10people skipped ahead of us, we left. Shame that the management doesn't look out for this and monitor fair queing. But what else can you expect from the French....

Knowledgable, couteous staff. Perfect car, clean and well maintained. Perfect rental. 100%.

On Saturday the 8 August I saw that they had cars available on the website (Fiat 500 & VW Passat) but could not reserve because I was on a train and kept losing the data signal. When I arrived the guy said he had no cars available even though I could see the cars sitting outside. When I pointed out that he had two outside, he said they were reserved for Monday _ why he did not want to rent either of them on sat/sun, I do not know. I then asked if he could rent me a car on Monday and he offered a budget car for 5 days for 537 euros! Avoid at all costs and go to Avis who have lots of branches nearby. The lady in Saintes if very nice and speaks excellent English.

Excellent service with friendly staff. Nothing is too much trouble.

Great service, good team. Location is easy to find. Will use again for sure.

Stéphane was very welcoming, friendly and helpful

Good reception and efficient on way back

Top!

(Translated by Google) This isn't the Royan market hall. To find the right place, type "central market, Royan." (Original) Ici ce n'est pas les halles de Royan. Pour trouver le bon lieu tapez "marché central, Royan"

A good place to find out more about the activities in St Palais and around

Function venue a little way out of Stratford

Nice square to have lunch!

Good information

(Translated by Google) A big thank you to Nelly for her welcome, her smile, and her sense of service. We bought a beautiful poster of the Coubre lighthouse, with a matching wood-colored frame. Nelly took the time to advise us, offer us a gift package, and make it (and it was very well done). Nelly has a sense of hospitality and business that is being lost. We are locals and often come to the Tourist Office. We hope to see her often. (Original) Un grand merci à Nelly pour son accueil, son sourire et son sens du service. Nous avons acheté un très beau poster du phare de la Coubre, avec un cadre couleur bois adapté. Nelly a pris le temps de nous conseiller, de nous proposer un paquet cadeau, de le faire (et il était très bien fait). Nelly a un sens de l'accueil et du commerce qui se perd. Nous sommes des locaux et venons souvent à l'Office du Tourisme. Nous espérons la voir souvent.

(Translated by Google) Very warm welcome, the person who received us took the time to explain to us all the possibilities of visits that were possible during our stay. (Original) Très bon accueil, la personne qui nous a reçu a bien pris le temps de nous expliquer toutes les possibilités de visites qui étaient possibles pendant notre séjour.

A neat and tidy tourist office. The lady who helped us could speak English and did her best to help us with an odd request.

Didn't seem to have much on offer

Loved it

Very nice staff. I will definitely get back again so that I check where to go and what to do in this nice city.

OK, but not so great, we tried several locations around Royan (as advertised) to connect to their WiFi system with no success and any point. Disappointing!!!

Had all the information required from maps to leaflets. Toilets close by and close to all the local facilities.

Lovely city royan .i think its better than la rochelle .pretty quaint and not so exspensive

A small nature reserve but at its centre is the "Pole Nature" the fire tower which has a public viewing platform at 60m from the ground giving panoramic view over the forest and coast of Saint Georges de Didonne and worth the 5€ to climb

Relax

Good 👍

Super

(Translated by Google) It's so beautiful!! I took the guided tour, and the gentleman was really nice, and we learned a lot about the history of the department and the Garonne! There's a metal tower in this park that offers a magnificent panoramic view of the surrounding area!! (Original) Ce que c'est beau !! J'ai fait la visite guidée et le monsieur était vraiment gentil et on a appris pas mal de choses sur des points historiques du département et de la Garonne ! Il y a une tour en métal dans ce parc qui offre une magnifique vue panoramique sur les alentours !!

(Translated by Google) A lovely walk through a pine forest. Peaceful, with the scents of the forest and the sound of the waves. Very relaxing. Magnificent panoramic view from the terrace of the Estuary Villa. (Original) Une jolie balade à travers une forêt de pins. Calme, senteurs de la forêt, bruit des vagues. Très relaxant. Magnifique vue panoramique depuis la terrasse de la villa de l'estuaire.

(Translated by Google) A park visited on a day trip on July 14th As a family, my son and I, who love history, were able to discover and enter some of the freely accessible bunkers, as well as the guard fort. I highly recommend it, with its panoramic view of the coastline. (Original) Un parc visité une journée du 14 juillet En famille, moi et mon fils qui adorons l histoire, nous avons pût découvrir et rentrer dans certains bunker libre d accès ainsi que le fort de garde . Je recommande grandement avec la vue panoramique sur le littoral

We booked two trips and two 20 minutes sessions. We had a lot of fun. Very friendly and English speeking staff. We enjoyed every trip.

Amazing experience!!! Thank you very much to the team of 100% Jet-Ski And most of all, thank you for the great attitude from the team. .. And don't forget Twist of the WristGive all the power

Great place to go, the people working there are sound out, very patient and have great English, can't wait to go again

correct

Super ⛱️🌴👍

(Translated by Google) Thank you to the whole team for this fun time. The instructors are great, very helpful and attentive. A family experience in a great atmosphere. Pure bliss!!! (Original) Merci à toute l'équipe pour ce moment de plaisir. Les moniteurs sont super, de très bon conseil et à l'écoute. Une expérience familiale dans une bonne ambiance. Un pur bonheur !!!

(Translated by Google) A superb jet ski experience, professionally and courteously supervised We were fortunate enough to participate in a one-hour jet ski session on May 31st at 9:00 a.m., departing from Saint-Georges-de-Didonne. The activity took place in changeable but perfectly controlled weather conditions, with overcast skies, but no disruption to the experience thanks to the provided equipment. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the on-site team. Both the manager and the receptionist were available, attentive, and very professional. A huge thank you to Raphaël, our instructor for the day, for his exceptional supervision. Educational, reassuring, attentive, and very caring, he created a relaxed and friendly atmosphere while ensuring an excellent level of safety. The walk was both challenging and rich in discoveries, particularly the passage near the troglodyte caves, which were narrated with insight. The exchange of our impressions further enhanced the experience. There were four of us (two adults, a teenage girl and her partner), and everyone left delighted, with memories to last a lifetime. This activity is highly recommended, for the quality of the supervision, the beauty of the setting, and the professionalism of the entire team. (Original) Une superbe expérience en jet-ski, encadrée avec professionnalisme et bienveillance Nous avons eu la chance de participer à une session jet-ski d'une heure le 31 mai à 9h00, en formule encadrée au départ de Saint-Georges-de-Didonne. L’activité s’est déroulée dans des conditions météo changeantes mais parfaitement maîtrisées, avec un ciel couvert mais aucune gêne pour la pratique grâce à l’équipement fourni. Dès l’accueil, nous avons été chaleureusement reçus par l’équipe sur place. Le responsable comme la personne à l’accueil se sont montrés disponibles, attentionnés et très professionnels. Un immense merci à Raphaël, notre moniteur du jour, pour son encadrement exceptionnel. Pédagogue, rassurant, à l’écoute et très attentionné, il a su créer une atmosphère détendue et conviviale tout en assurant un excellent niveau de sécurité. La balade fut à la fois sportive et riche en découvertes, notamment avec le passage près des grottes troglodytes, commentées avec justesse. L’échange autour de nos ressentis a renforcé encore l’intérêt de l’expérience. Nous étions quatre (deux adultes, une adolescente et son compagnon) et chacun est reparti enchanté, avec des souvenirs plein la tête. Une activité à recommander sans hésitation, pour la qualité de l'encadrement, la beauté du cadre, et le professionnalisme de toute l'équipe.

(Translated by Google) I didn't think it was so easy to change the fabric of your parasol. Everything is clearly explained, impossible to make a mistake! Delivered in less than a week. I highly recommend! (Original) Je ne pensais pas qu’il était si simple de changer la toile de son parasol. Tout est clairement expliqué, impossible de se tromper ! Livré en moins d une semaine. Je recommande fortement !

(Translated by Google) Ordered a replacement canopy for my 3x3 cantilever parasol. Fast delivery and easy installation. The dimensions given are accurate and the description of the canopy makes it easy to check that it fits my parasol, which was not purchased from this store. This is the only site that provides such detailed measurements and warns the buyer of the risks of poor compatibility. Bravo! (Original) Commandé une toile de remplacement pour mon parasol déporté 3*3. Livraison rapide et installation facile. Les dimensions données sont exactes et le descriptif de la toile permet de bien vérifier qu'elle correspond bien à mon parasol qui n'a pas été acheté dans ce magasin.

(Translated by Google) Order a canvas for Biscarosse model offset parasol 2.5m x 2.5m. To replace the fabric, faded and worn by time, of a Roma parasol whose spare parts cannot be found on the internet. Very good quality canvas even if it is difficult to compare with the original due to its wear and aging linked to UV. Perfect finish and fit on the Roma parasol. Delivery in 48 hours. The icing on the cake is that it’s a French company. This therefore avoids going through the well-known distance selling site which often collects its items, of sometimes questionable quality, on the other side of the planet and particularly in China. I recommend. (Original) Commande d'une toile pour parasol déporté modèle Biscarosse 2,5m x 2,5m. En remplacement de la toile, passée et usée par le temps, d'un parasol Roma dont les pièces détachées sont introuvables sur le net. Toile de très bonne qualité même s'il est difficile de comparer avec l'originale du fait de son usure et de son vieillissement liés aux UV. Finition et ajustements parfaits sur le parasol Roma. Livraison en 48 heures. Cerise sur le gâteau, c'est une entreprise française. Cela évite donc de passer par le site de vente à distance bien connu qui va souvent chercher ses articles, d'une qualité parfois discutable, à l'autre bout de la planète et notamment en Chine. Je recommande.

(Translated by Google) Parasol cover 2.65 m Polyester/pvc of good quality which should last well. Very fast shipping less than 24 hours from the seller, reception 72 hours with Colissimo... Pleasant reception and telephone information. Worth coming back if shopping. The only downside (1* less) is that the foldable rod for installing and uninstalling the cover is too flexible; for practicality we would have liked a stiffer rod and wider tip despite its location in a sheath provided for this purpose. (Original) Housse parasol 2,65 m Polyester/pvc de belle qualité qui devrait bien durer. Envoi très rapide moins de 24h00 du vendeur, réception 72h00 avec Colissimo...Accueil et renseignement téléphoniques agréables. Mérite d'y revenir si achats. Seul petit bémol (1* en moins), la canne pliable pour installer et désinstaller la housse trop souple, on aurait souhaité pour le côté pratique une tige plus raide et embout plus large malgré son emplacement dans un fourreau prévu à cet effet.

(Translated by Google) Canvas ordered on Sunday and received Wednesday at 12 p.m. by colissimo. Everything is perfect and the canvas adapts almost perfectly to my distributor brand offset parasol which no longer ensures the replacement of parts! (slight offset at the eyelet near the crank). The planet thanks you for allowing me to keep my parasol! (Original) Toile commandée le dimanche et reçue mercredi à 12 heures en colissimo. Tout est parfait et la toile s adapte presque parfaitement à mon parasol déporté de marque distributeur qui n assure plus le remplacement de pièces ! (léger décallage au niveau de l oeillet à proximite de la manivelle). La planète vous remercie de m avoir permis de conserver mon parasol !

Nice little town with a market. Lovely beach area ( but not dogs!) Drinks were a little expensive i think as a captive audience.

Google says the lighthouse is temporarily closed-it’s not. There are works going on around. Great wee lighthouse, interesting and definitely worth the climb up for the views.

Great first lighthouse visit and entry in the area. Lovely views.

Lighthouse closed but open air art exhibition "Gironde suavage" lovely

Beautiful view and also walking with small children from the beach via the port to the phare. However, restoration of the phare is urgently needed.

A beautiful classic lighthouse, would have been great to live there! Under construction right now, only reason 4 not 5

Like an old friend standing guard over the sea, great views from the top if you get the chance

Brilliant golf course. My best friend and I played in June 1998. A magical day.It said on a photo of Nicklaus, Watson and Kite (I think) They said it is "The Augusta of Europe" we cant argue with that. Back again in 2024 and course still as beautiful. The pic is us before Tee Off at 36degrèes in 1998.

Tasty, well presented lunch with a nice view over the lake/greens.

Just visited to view and had a glass of wine. Very friendly and comfortable. We plan to return for lunch.

Went for a paddle on Cote Sauvage then went for coffee at golf club. Very friendly staff. Went on driving range and chipping green which were also very good. Returned to clubhouse for jambon beurre at a very reasonable price in a delightful restaurant overlooking the 18th green. A great spot and a must visit for golfers in western France

Great Golf course Happy to have used a Cart As it was 34 centigrade And drank lots of water Plenty if taps on course

A beautiful golf course, which challenges all abilities, and facilities. A must if you are in the area.

Excellent golf course and restaurant, you will pay for what you get though

Great location and exhibitions. Would be good if it had a café.

Super expo Vivian Meier

Beautiful little town and great views.

Great place

(Translated by Google) The location is superb, a magnificent umbrella pine with a sea view in front. The interior is modern, not huge but sufficient to see exhibitions. We saw the exhibition dedicated to Vivian Maier, it was well documented, I really enjoyed the visit. (Original) L'emplacement est superbe, un magnifique pin parasol avec vue sur la mer devant.

Lovely large beach. Clean, with decent loo facilities. Free street parking available all along the front.

Lovely beach. 3km long so plenty of room. Very safe for children. Lots of parking

Big & massive beautiful beach with perfect sand 🏖

Love this beach. It's massive with perfect sand and always a cooling breeze. Very popular but never overcrowded.

Far less busy than others and perfect for the children. Loved it. Will definitely go back

Pretty big, well equipped, sand

Stayed here in our motorhome €8 for 24 hours in Sept 2017. Right across the road from a big, sandy beach. Couldn't fault it, except for the fact that there wasn't a borne there.

(Translated by Google) Magnificent place with its history. As a bonus, an impressive 360° view once you arrive at the top of the Old Bell Tower. (Original) Lieu magnifique avec son histoire. En prime une vue impressionnante à 360° une fois après être arrivé tout en haut du Vieux Clocher.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful church with a good view of the entire holy palace (Original) Très belle église avec un bon point de vue sur tout saint palais

(Translated by Google) Small, very unusual church where artistic exhibitions are often held. Very beautiful view from the top of the bell tower if you have the courage to climb up the small narrow staircase. And if you are lucky like us that the sky is clear, you will be able to see the Cordouan lighthouse. (Original) Petite église très atypique où se tient souvent des expositions artistiques. Très belle vue, du haut du clocher si vous avez le courage d'y monter par le petit escalier étroit.

(Translated by Google) An exhibition of wooden sculptures and abstract paintings allows you to discover this pretty bell tower with a view. (Original) Une exposition de sculptures en bois et de tableaux abstraits permet de découvrir ce joli clocher avec vue.

(Translated by Google) Very good staff. Very kind and welcoming gentleman. We did “panic on board”, nice for a second escape game but the immersion could be a lot more work. Such as sound effects, board falling halfway into the room etc… (Original) Personnel très bien. Monsieur très gentil et accueillant. Nous avons fait « panique à bord », sympa pour un deuxième escape game mais l’immersion pourrait être bien plus travaillé. Tel que effets sonores, planche qui tombe à moitié dans la salle etc …

(Translated by Google) Very good time spent with family. The gentleman who welcomed us was very friendly and educational. Quality escape game. We played “Panic on Board”. The premises are clean. We will come back. (Original) Très bon moment passé en famille. Le Monsieur qui nous a accueillis était très aimable et pédagogue. Escape game de qualité. Nous avons joué à « Panique à bord ». Les locaux sont propres. Nous reviendrons.

(Translated by Google) Definitely my worst escape room experience. The welcome was frosty (we arrived 5 minutes late, admittedly), with no atmosphere, just a simple: third door on your right... The number of puzzles seemed low to us, but there were a lot of us, so why not? One puzzle gave us a hard time, and we spent over 15 minutes asking for a clue, as if no one was accompanying us. I'll let you imagine the frustration. The room is relatively accessible, no problem, and even better for beginners, but such a low investment in reception is truly deplorable. (Original) Certainement ma pire expérience d’escape game. L’accueil a été glacial (nous sommes arrivés avec 5 min de retard certes), aucune mise en ambiance mais un simple : troisième porte sur votre droite… Le nombre d’énigmes nous a semblé faible, mais nous étions nombreux donc sur ce point pourquoi pas. Une énigme nous a mis en difficulté et nous avons demandé pendant plus de 15 min un indice, à croire que personne ne nous accompagnait, je vous laisse imaginer la frustration. Que la salle soit plutôt accessible, aucun souci et même tant mieux pour les débutants mais un investissement si faible dans l’accueil est vraiment déplorable.

(Translated by Google) We had a great time as a family. For our first escape game, we were won over; the Panic room on board was ideal. Everyone contributed and had fun, adults and teenagers alike. The Game Master coached us very well. I recommend this place and we will definitely return to try the other rooms. (Original) Nous avons passé un très bon moment en famille. Pour notre 1er escape game, nous avons été séduits ; la salle Panique à bord était idéale. Tout le monde a contribué et s'est amusé, adultes comme ados. Le game Master nous a très bien coaché. Je recommande ce lieu et nous y retournerons certainement pour tester les autres salles.

(Translated by Google) A wonderful experience to enjoy with family or friends. The welcome was impeccable and the explanations clear at the end. A must-do! (Original) Très belle experience à faire en famille ou entre amis. Accueil irréprochable et explications claires à la fin. À faire sans hésiter !

(Translated by Google) Good treasure hunt Too expensive for what it is No gifts at the end 😡 just a little photo (Original) Jeux de piste bien Trop cher pour ce que s'est Pas de cadeaux à la fin 😡 juste une petite photo

Great beach for surfing (mainly winter ). Great in summer as there is space left when tide is high. Some good place to eat across the road and a casino (perfect spot for a coffee with a view on the surfers)

👍 👌

Beautiful beach and very large, a splendid view! I highly recommend this beach! 🦀

Not big but beautiful

lovely beach

Fabulous !!!!

Our family beach. It’s next to the ice cream shops ;)

Nice beach, lots of fishing, they must share this part of the beach with swimmers and dogs. In summerholiday bit crowded

Nice place for a picnic or stay at the beach ⛱️ There were no places for parking(

Super

wonderful views, warm sea and lovely unspoilt sand.

(Translated by Google) Foncillon beach... This is the beach of my childhood, my adolescence, my youth... And even later as I got older I returned there regularly having lived in Royan and as part of my family is still here. This beach is great, pleasant,... I experienced so many things there... Supervised swimming, always room to relax with your towel, more waves than the Grande Conche beach. Foncillon beach, along with Chay beach, are some of my favorite beaches!

La plage de Foncillon, avec la plage du Chay, font parties de mes plages préférées ! J'ai également beaucoup été sur la plage de Pontaillac, mais ces deux précédentes sont vraiment mes coups de cœur.

(Translated by Google) Far from the tourist hustle and bustle and the brutalist style of Notre-Dame Church, Saint-Pierre Church offers a moment of calm and serenity. Its more traditional architecture, its sober and soothing interior, and the soft lighting create an atmosphere conducive to contemplation. One senses authenticity, a soul, almost timeless.

(Translated by Google) Sandy beach, lots of different rocks. During high tide, the waves crash beautifully against the rocks.

(Translated by Google) 5km of sandy beach. Large parking lots along its entire length. Two areas are supervised, on the Saint Palais side and the Combots side.
