Spring break is here! Royan Atlantique reveals a more peaceful atmosphere, far from the summer hustle and bustle. This is the perfect time to make the most of your stay near Royan. To help you plan your trip, we've selected some ideas for activities and outings.
The great outdoors at all costs
During spring break, the sun is just beginning to show its face. Clearly, after a warm winter, we're eager to get out, move, and enjoy the beautiful clear skies and nature.



OUR IDEAS FOR WALKS & HIKES
The territory is full of big spaces preserved to indulge in walks and hikes on foot or by bike. By the sea, in the heart of the forest, between fields and hills, choose your setting and follow the marked paths. The colors and atmospheres are superb in this season!
Orienteering
Alone or with others, try a slightly more sporty outdoor activity: orienteering ! Equipped with a map and a compass, you follow a route linking different beacons which form an imposed route. In the middle of nature, we therefore combine the pleasure of the walk and reflection to decipher the map and find the fastest path. Several levels of difficulty are offered and if you want to add to the challenge, you start the timer!
In search of new sensations: water activities and horseback riding
Spring break is also an opportunity to do activities that you wouldn't do around home. Well equipped, you can learn to surf Pontaillac beach, take a kayak trip to discover the fauna and flora of the Seudre or take a sea excursion to admire the coastline from the ocean.
The large stretches of sand are also real playgrounds for trying your hand at yachting or to a Horse ride. We are in small groups, far from the crowds of the big days... We breathe deeply, we pick up speed, it's invigorating and rejuvenating!
Family activities
The Easter holidays mark the start of the season Atlantic Royan. On this occasion, we take advantage of the first activities for children: egg hunts, workshops, shows... As a family, we take part in nature outings educational to learn a little more about our environment.
You can also discover the territory in a playful way with the Terra Aventura route. Thus, we go in search of clues in emblematic places of the territory. We must observe the details that surround us to solve puzzles. In short, Tèrra Aventura is a treasure hunt that combines nature and culture walks while creating a bond between young and old!
Cultural visits
At this time of year, we set off to explore at our own pace the historical and cultural heritage of the region, its tourist sites, its museums. The modernist architecture of Royan can be admired in complete tranquility, just like the charming listed villages of Mornac-sur-Seudre et Talmont-sur-Gironde.

A downpour, so what?
Even if the sun is not there, we do not get discouraged! We look at the ideas for activities and outings to do “when it rains”. Solo or as a duo, it's the perfect time to treat yourself to a break. We choose one of our wellness areas, spas and thalassotherapy to relax. Otherwise, nothing like a cocooning afternoon with a good book or a family board game for a moment of sharing!
Feeling hungry?
This period of relaxation is conducive to immersion in the local gastronomy. According to the desire of the moment, we treat ourselves with a large seafood platter and Marennes-Oléron oysters. You can also taste culinary specialties made from local produce or order a meal on the go!
Memories memories
The holidays go by too quickly... We bring back a souvenir in our suitcases, as if to bring back a little piece of here!

To do this, simply go to one of the tourist office shops, where you can find many gift ideas, such as artisanal soaps, producer salt, local Charentais wines. , postcards, books and vintage posters. It will be difficult to resist the temptation!
