Cultural and historical heritage

From a cultural point of view, a stay in our hotel in Royan offers many possibilities due to the rich and varied heritage of the town. First of all, the Royan Museum offers you a historical journey retracing the great events from antiquity to the Second World War, the largest collection of furniture from the 1950s as well as other exhibitions.

Several castles are also to be discovered during your stay in Royan: the fortified castle of St Jean d'Angles, authentic from the Middle Ages and classified as a Historic Monument, which you can visit with your family in a playful way through a game; the Château de Beaulon, a historic monument from the Renaissance, surrounded by vineyards, parks and fountains, proposing tastings of their cognac produced on the spot; the Château des Enigmes, also a Historic Monument from the Renaissance, which proposes a family treasure hunt on the theme of pirates.

Then, the seaside architecture of Royannaise is to be discovered. Regional character, English or exotic inspiration rub shoulders with neo-baroque, cubism or classicism... You will find an interesting mix of styles, dating from the end of the 19th century, just a stone's throw from your hotel in Royan. 

Don't hesitate to explore the surrounding area, accessible thanks to Royan's ideal geographical location, which allows you to discover many sites in a short time: historical cities such as La Rochelle, Saintes, Rochefort, the islands of Charente-Maritime such as the island of Oléron or Ré, forts such as Fort Boyard, the caves of Matata or Regulus, the lighthouses of La Coubre, Cordouan or Chassiron lighthouses, leisure parks such as the Palmyre Zoo or the Cep Enchanté, or vineyards for wine tourism in the Charentes, Côtes de Blayes and Côtes de Bourg or Médoc...
