Visiting Royan
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.
The gastronomy of Royan
As far as gastronomy is concerned, the Charente cuisine is between land and sea. Take advantage of your stay in our hotel in Royan to taste oysters from Marennes-Oléron, mussels cooked in mouclade (a local speciality with cream and white wine) and many other local specialities based on succulent seafood. Depending on the season, you will also have the opportunity to taste the Charente melon, which goes perfectly with the Pineau des Charentes, typical of the region.
