Boucle VTC (saisonnière) – Du littoral à l’entre deux estuaires

This 2-day excursion could be a good way to travel back in time. Between history and legends there are only a few kilometers!

Thanks to the arrival of the railway in 1875, Royan became one of the most luxurious resorts on the ocean coast. The "All-Paris" meet there, among whom we can mention Zola, Guitry or even Picasso...
Destroyed at 85% by Allied bombing in 1945, it is with a modernist seaside architecture that Royan unfolds an astonishing dive into the 1950s.

15 km south of Royan, on a rocky promontory overlooking the estuary, Talmont has kept its original bastide plan, built in 1284. Dominating the village, the Sainte-Radegonde church is still fortified with ramparts.
Direction Saujon, to board the Train des Mouettes and travel as in the XNUMXth century.

A fishing port that has always been around, Mornac has experienced commercial navigation for salt, the wealth of the region for several centuries, but also for trade between La Rochelle and Bordeaux.
