It was almost completely destroyed at the end of World War II, and rebuilt afterwards. It owes its reputation to its attractive cocktail of Belle Epoque and 1950's architecture. Local people and holiday-makers alike appreciate its life-style an its clean and flowery setting. A lot of special events -some of them of nation-wide or even international importance- take place all year long. Among them : the Show Jumping, Violons sur le Sable (classical music beach-concerts), the ice-skating rink on the beach in winter, the Marble World Cup, the fireworks on August 15th, and the Horsemanship Special Weekend.     Royan has facilities for almost all the sports : tennis, squash, horse-riding, golf, parchute-jumping, sailing, windsurfing, skin diving, etc... Royan also offers an exceptionnal hinterland, full of natural and historical riches, located in what we call the Triangle of the Three Savours, namely : oysters, Pineau & Cognac wines, and the Medoc wines area.
