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.

Wonderful mill with working mill wheel
This charming 7 bedroom watermill is perfectly laid out for a B&B but would equally make a very generous family home.
House
Crossing a small bridge over the mill stream, a flight of steps lead up to the main entrance.
Ground floor
The front door opens directly to a very large living room (about 65 sq m) with tiled floor, exposed beam ceiling, a limestone Charentaise fireplace and three pairs of French doors opening to the rear patio, the pool and the garden beyond.
To the left an archway leads through to the kitchen (26 sq m) with tiled floor, a range of fitted units (including an island unit) and a pair of glazed doors to the terrace and pool area. This room has space enough for a breakfast area.
To the rear of the kitchen a door opens to a corridor that provides access to a bedroom (23 sq m - currently used as the owners' bedroom) with ensuite shower room and a separate WC.
To the right of the living room a pair of glazed doors open to what is currently the guest wing. The doors open to a hallway, to the left of which is a room (19 sq m - currently used as an office) with tiled floor, limestone Charentaise fireplace and a glazed door to the rear garden. To the right of the hall a door opens to the former mill room (65 sq m) with wooden floor, exposed stone walls and exposed beam ceiling. The water wheel is visible through a glass trapdoor and the mill workings are all in place, making this room a wonderful guest living room. To one end of the room is a useful guest kitchen area.
First floor
A staircase rises from the hallway in the guest wing to the first floor landing, off which are five bedrooms (20 sq m, 15 sq m, 15 sq m, 15 sq m and 11 sq m). The four larger bedrooms all have ensuite facilities and the smaller bedroom has its own shower room off the landing.
Lower ground floor
A flight of stairs descend from the mill room to an entrance hall (private guest entrance) from where a door opens to the wheel room. Here the mill wheel and its workings are all visible. This room (about 50 sq m) also provides useful storage and workshop space.
A door below the stairs in the guest wing hallway descends to two cellars which house the central heating boiler and the oil tank.
A flight of stairs descends from the corridor next to the owners' bedroom to series of rooms including a bedroom (10 sq m), a bathroom, a pantry, a laundry room and a small wine store. There is also access to the large garage (75 sq m).
Externally
The house sits on a plot of about 6000 sq m. To the front of the property is a parking area, an area of lawn and terrace which is divided by the mill race - making a very attractive approach to the house. To the rear of the house is the terrace, next to which is the pool area, the mill stream and a pretty bakehouse (about 26 sq m) with working bread oven - this is a delightful space for entertaining.
Beyond lies the rest of the garden - mainly laid to lawn.
An additional (and adjoining) plot of land may also be available.
Power generation
The mill stream has a drop of about 3 metres and the wheel bypass would be an ideal place to install a modern top-fed wheel (enabling the original wheel to remain in place) in order to generate electricity.
Heat pump
Water heat-pumps installed in running water are an extremely efficient means of heat generation, even more so than buried-pipe geothermal heat-pumps - with your own stream such an installation could be possible.
