Places to see in ( Royan - France )
Royan is a seaside resort town on France’s Atlantic coast, at the mouth of the Gironde estuary. Its sandy beaches include the 2 km-long, south-facing La Grande Conche with its sheltered waters. The town also has belle epoque villas and modern, postwar architecture such as the concrete Notre-Dame de Royan church. The grand Cordouan Lighthouse stands on an islet in the estuary, accessible by ferry.
Located at the entrance to the Gironde estuary, the seaside resort of the Beauté coast became famous in the 19th century, when the fashion for sea bathing developed. Rebuilt after the bombardments of 1945, the town of Royan today offers many examples of modern architecture, including residential blocks and the Notre-Dame church. It is though still possible to admire charming villas of the Belle Époque period, especially in the prestigious district of Pontaillac. Beautiful fine sand beaches, among which the Grande Conche beach and the beautiful beach of Pontaillac, as well as the numerous activities on offer make Royan a renowned seaside resort.
Royan is a commune in the south-west of France , located in the department of Charente-Maritime (Nouvelle-Aquitaine region). Its inhabitants are called Royannais and Royannaises. Main city of the Côte de Beauté with 18,393 inhabitants in 2015, in the heart of an urban area of 48,982 inhabitants in 2013, Royan is primarily one of the main seaside resorts on the French Atlantic coast, with five beaches sand, and also a marina that can accommodate more than 1,000 boats and an active fishing port. Economic center radiating on the south-west quarter of the department (tertiary activities : shopping centers, crafts, banks and mutual, educational institutions) the city also lives at the pace of the university pole of Carel, specialized in language teaching.
Located in the peninsula of Arvert, on the right bank of the mouth of the largest estuary in Europe, the Gironde, Royan has always been a coveted strategic site costing him several seats and destruction. After the Germanic invasions (Visigoths in particular), and some incursions Viking, Royan, then small fishing port, is the seat of several priories during the Middle Ages. Under English rule during the Hundred Years War, the city becomes during the Religious war a Protestant stronghold that will be besieged and destroyed by Louis XIII.
It was only during the Restoration that Royan developed thanks to its sea baths and acquired a great reputation in the middle of the 19th century, especially from the Second Empire. It hosts many artists during the Roaring Twenties.
Destroyed by allied bombing during the Liberation fighting (headquarters of Royan, September 12, 1944-15 April 1945), the martyred city is declared a Laboratory of research on urbanism and has since a representative architectural heritage of the 1950s (Modernist architecture), which earned him to be classified Ville d'Art et d'Histoire (Towns of Art and History) in 2010. Today, Royan affirms more than ever its seaside vocation. It is a tourist and cultural center welcoming annually 90,000 inhabitants each summer season.
