Le Thélème

Who has never dreamed of a place where everyone could flourish without law, status or rule, but according to their will and free will? A place to live in osmosis with others, without ever interfering in your own freedom? A place to have good food, play music, read, talk, exchange, share? This place, François Rabelais imagined it in his work Gargantua through the abbey of Thélème. On its threshold, a single motto: "Do what you want".

Utopia of French literature, to this day, it becomes reality for Manon and Mikaël, who dreamed of opening the doors of a friendly, humanist bar, where sharing, discovery and exchange would be the key words. Its name: Thelema.

Manon and Mikaël followed the lights of the Cordouan lighthouse and dropped anchor in Royan, the adopted country for this little supercharged girl and this tall, placid man who wanted to create a living space for all the inhabitants, a den where things happen always something, where we come to drink coffee with a neighbor, share a charcuterie board with friends, talk about music and literature, drink to the health of reunions, get together with family, debate fiercely about the surrounding world and reconcile in front of a drink in a burst of laughter.

We want to create a friendly and authentic place, open all year round, for all Royan residents and all visitors to our beautiful region. We want to invest ourselves fully, offer local products, from sustainable agriculture, put our dynamism and our good humor at the service of local life to contribute to the attractive image of Royan.
