Royan Rand’eau Longe Côte

Royan Rand'Eau is affiliated with the French Hiking Federation. It has just over 500 members and offers sporting activities: coast walking, hiking, Nordic walking at all levels in a friendly atmosphere.

The objectives of Royan Rand'Eau are to develop hiking, Nordic walking and longe-coast/water walking within the Pays Royannais and to involve members in the life of the association.
