Royan, a historic seaside resort

Find yourself in a lovely seaside resort located at the entrance of the Gironde estuary when you book affordable holiday lettings in Royan. It is one of the first cities in the Chartene-Martime department to focus on the tourism industry. As early as the 19th century, the phenomenon of "sea bathing" became more widespread. It was at that time that the benefits of salt water on the body were discovered. Since then, an increasing number of tourists have flocked to the Atlantic coast. This has propelled the fishing port of Royan to the status of one of France's most popular resorts. At Holidu we are proud to offer a fantastic lineup of rentals in the town and nearby locations. Take some time to browse our lineup of holiday lettings in Saint-Palais-sur-Mer and La Palmyre lettings. The former is just 9 minutes away via the Bd de la Côte de Beauté. It is acclaimed for its five sandy beaches and its large pine forests. The latter is 20 minutes away along the D25 in an area popular for its seaside amenities and its zoo.
