Camping near Royan, Charente Maritime
Royan and the surrounding area is a magnet for holidaymakers. Why? Well because the weather in the region is so good, it's easily accessible by car but mostly because the whole area is delightful! Camping in or near to Royan places you in a region of golden beaches backed by pine forests and where the shallow waters are ideal for swimming and watersports.
The market in Royan is the best in Charente-Maritime and is open most days. Just wandering around seeing stalls offering an amazing variety of fish, meat, cheese, fruit and vegetables is a fantastic experience. Eat oysters there as the area around Royan is famous for producing oysters and mussels.
The beaches, both the Grande Conche and the Front de Mer, are great, or you can hire a bike and cycle along the miles of coastal paths and pine forests. A visit to the famous town of Cognac is surely a must to savour the taste of the local Pineau and Cognac as there are lots of distilleries which offer tastings.
Also worth a visit nearby is Palmyre Zoo which is generally regarded as one of the best in France, the beautiful city of La Rochelle as well as a drive down to the historic city of Bordeaux.

Getting to Royan is simple enough as most of your journey from any of the northern ferry ports will be either on autoroutes or fast and free dual carriageways. The journey is easier and nearer from ports like Le Havre, Caen or St Malo, but if you are driving from Calais we suggest that your route takes you via Abbeyville, Rouen and Le Mans rather than driving around Paris if you want to avoid the famous Péripherique!
