What to See and Where to Go When Camping in Royan

Camping in Royan allows the visitor to sample many of the delights of France, and all from a quiet and beautiful coastal region fringed by forests of thick Pine. Whether you're already keen on camping holidays in the south west of France or are only just considering Royan for the first time, here's a guide to what awaits you in this much loved national retreat.

What to See and Where to Go When Camping in Royan

Royan maintains quite a pedigree as a holiday destination, having been a favourite with Parisian families seeing a summer escape since the first train lines were laid in 1875. Their love of the resort is clearly visible today in the few Belle Epoque villas that survived the Second World War. Though the town still remains dear to many French holidaymakers, in modern Royan camping is the finer choice. Staying in one of the many superb campsites of the area allows you to connect with both sides of this beautiful country, the rural and the cosmopolitan. Here are some of the attractions you can enjoy while camping in Royan.

Family Fun

• With over 1,600 animals on display, Palmyre Zoo is a great destination for any family. Highlights include Sea Lion displays, Wolves, Polar Bears and Elephants. Easily accessible for those camping in Royan.

• The beaches of the Grande Conche and the Front de Mer in the centre of Royan are shallow, clean and safe, as well as warm in the summer. Those looking for something more adventurous and ideal for surfing should explore the Cote Sauvage.

Culinary Delights

• The market in Royan is the best in Charente-Maritime and is open most days. Just wandering between the stalls, which offer an amazing variety of fish, meat, cheese, fruit and vegetables, is a fantastic experience. Anyone who enjoys camping holidays in the south west of France knows not to miss the bustle of a French market.

• The area around Royan is famous for producing oysters and mussels, making sampling these a rare delights an unmissable treat.

• If you don't have the time to drive inland to Cognac you will find many distilleries in the area offering samples and sales to the thirsty visitor.

• Following the tradition that French camping holidays should never be far from vineyards and chateaux, the lush Médoc region lies across the Gironde river, just a short ferry ride to the south of Royan.

Fresh Air

• To the south-east of Royan lies the village of Talmont. For an example of how beautiful camping in Royan can be, climb up to the church perched on the cliff top and watch the sunset sink into the Atlantic Ocean.

• Those looking to stretch their legs can cycle the Royan coastal path that stretches for miles across the promenade and on through cool Pine forest.

Cultural Tastings

• The inland town of Saintes (twinned with Salisbury, Wiltshire) boasts fine architecture and Roman structures, as well as the typical charm of a rural French town.

• A particular highlight for those in Royan, camping or not, is to see the remaining Belle Epoque villas that pepper the seafront; a reminder of the town's exclusive past.

• Around 74km to the north lies La Rochelle, one of the prettiest towns to be seen on camping holidays in the south west of France. Visitors will discover an ancient port steeped in historical sites, wonderful restaurants and home to 'FrancoFolies', one of the largest music festivals in France.
