Royan, has 30 km of beach and 6000 hectares of forest. Beaches, coves and bays have made Royan and its surroundings a paradise with a record amount of sunshine.
Meschers will seduce you with its white cliffs where the wind and the sea have hollowed out deep caves, its five beaches of fine sand in the hollows of the cozy bay, its fishing boats which make their way up the Gironde and its market at the foot of the large square bell-tower of its 15th century church.
The Golf de Royan is a truly exceptional course set in a unique landscape in the middle of a magnificent forest. You can play golf here without ever coming across a road or a house. The course attracts the best players. In the heart of the Coubre forest, the eighteen holes and their fairways fit in well with the relief of the natural dunes, a rolling green cut into an ocean of pine trees.
Those who want to get rid of stress might like to try the front wall in the game of Pelota.
Before throwing yourself in and improvising the game, you'll enjoy watching it and becoming an "aficionado".
Pelota has been played in Royan for exactly one hundred years.
