What to do in the evening in Royan and its surroundings: top 7 night outings for a trip to the end of the night
Once the sun has set, the Royan area changes rhythm and atmosphere. For night owls who keep putting off bedtime, here are our ideas for the best places to hang out at night and enjoy the nightlife. Don't forget the mosquito repellent! And we'll sleep better tomorrow...
1. We go to the carnival (or the brotherhood as we say here)
À Royan ou Ronce-les-Bains, we take the little ones to carousels, bumper cars, rifle shooting, duck fishing, the cotton candy stand... And for the grown-ups who have remained children, we are full of sensations at the Luna Park of La Palmyre on the most impressive attractions.

2. Stroll through the night markets
The stands light up, the atmosphere is different from the morning markets. We wander side-by-side in the aisles. We are waiting for the good idea of a souvenir to bring home or a gift to offer for the less fortunate who have stayed at home. A choice : the local product that you won't find anywhere else, craft creation who catches our eye, the little toy to please...

3. We sit on the terrace
We take the time… Whether we drink a glass with friends in a bar or have a romantic dinner in the restaurant, the terraces by the sea make the moment as festive as it is magical. On the seafronts, as close as possible to the beaches or on the pontoons of oyster huts, this moment belongs to us. Cocktails, platters, ice cream cups, live music or dancefloor… Everyone has their choice.

5 unmissable atmospheric bars:
3 bars “feet in the sand”:
4. We go clubbing
For the most revelers, we do not hesitate to tread the dance floor of the mythical Le Rancho nightclub in Saint-Palais-sur-Mer or the club L'Apogée in Royan. From David Guetta's last set at the Connemara Lakes, who will have the energy to party until dawn?
5. We make a canvas at the cinema

Blockbuster or arthouse, everyone makes their own film. And in the summer, whether you're used to large complexes or small venues, you can change the setting. The big screen sets up under the stars. THE outdoor cinema comes as close as possible to us: camping, seaside, village square, open-air theatre, etc.
6. We try our luck at the casino
Fullerenes Royan and Ronce-les-Bains casinos, emblematic and historical places of the seaside resorts, test our lucky star. Slot machines, gaming tables, blackjack, poker, roulette… It's the guarantee of the pleasure of playing. As for the gain, you have to know how to let chance decide.
7. Take advantage of summer night entertainment

The summer, the night life in full swing on Destination Royan Atlantique and has some great surprises in store for us. Concerts, street performances, one man show, artistic performances, or even giant karaoke… The cultural program is rich and the atmosphere always warm.
