Many of us wait for holidays and long weekends to bridge the Royan and its surroundings. We pack our bags and take family and friends to (re)discover Royan Atlantique. We choose our long weekend: May 1, May 8, Ascension Bridge or Pentecost weekend for a taste of a vacation in Charentes!
10 good reasons to take a long weekend and head to Royan Atlantique
01
Living by the rhythm of the tides
The weather decides the day's schedule for us. In May, the sun and mild weather return. Why not take advantage of the opportunity to take a dip? At low tide, you can spot hermit crabs, crabs, and other crustaceans in the rocks or experience the thrill of sand yachting on the vast, fine sandy beaches.
02
Go off the beaten track and take a bath in nature
In spring, flora and fauna are on the alert. We dive into the heart of our forests to observe them. Not a sound. We find ourselves alone, in communion with nature. The typical fresh and resinous smell of pines intoxicates us. The forest trails have some nice surprises in store for us and spectacular views of the ocean.
03
Stop at the port and taste oysters over a drink
As a seafood lover, the coast is the perfect place to sample fresh produce. The ports on the banks of the Seudre offer us a picturesque setting with their wooden huts near the clears, in the heart of the oyster basin of Marennes-Oléron.
04
Along the coast by bike, a whole way of life!
By bicycle, we criss-cross the surroundings. We cross varied landscapes: forest, marshes, fields to reach seaside resorts or listed villages. Along the Vélodyssée® route, take a break on the beach for an invigorating swim!
05
Soak up the authentic atmosphere of our villages
Stroll along the cobbled streets, admire the white stone houses, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the region's typical villages. From Talmont-sur-Gironde to Mornac-sur-Seudre, each stop is an invitation to discovery.
06
Trying to tame the waves of the Atlantic
With its renowned surf spots and fine sandy beaches, Royan Atlantique is a true playground for surfers. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced surfer, all you need is a board and a good wave to enjoy the unique sensations of surfing!
07
Explore the secrets of the Seudre channels
If the sea is still a little too cool for us, we opt for a kayak trip on the Seudre estuary. By getting lost in the maze of the marsh, we discover wild vegetation and a rich biodiversity. A relaxing experience, perfect for recharging your batteries.
08
Step back in time and dive into history
From iconic lighthouses to troglodyte caves, churches, and museums, our local heritage holds many surprises. Each site tells a story of our region's history. A journey through the centuries, between land and sea.
09
Push open the doors of a wine estate
Between the vineyards and cellars, you'll meet passionate winemakers who bring their unique expertise to life. The tour concludes with a tasting of Pineau, Charente wine, or Cognac: a wonderful way to experience the flavors of the region.
10
Stay in unusual accommodation
A caravan, teepee, or lodge tent at a campsite... A change of scenery also means a change of atmosphere for the duration of your stay. What if you opted for a night in an unusual accommodation? It's the perfect opportunity to make your weekend even more memorable!
