"Royan destroyed, Royan rebuilt": this could be the slogan for a town that has been razed to the ground twice, and has risen from the ashes each time. Royan was revived in the early 19th century by the promotion of seaside holidays and the English bathing craze. In 1845, the first casino was built on the Foncillon hill. The town boomed and became one of the most luxurious and exclusive seaside resorts of the time. The resort, with its pretty sandy beaches (also known as conches) and listed post-war architecture, has proudly risen from its tragic past.
