But Pontaillac is also known for its casino, located in the middle of Pontaillac beach in Royan, with its feet in the sand. The promenade has been rehabilitated, and bars and restaurants with their terraces are ideally located opposite the beach.

The beach is also surrounded by old houses reflecting Royannaise architecture, by a few squares, but also by cliffs and rocks, some of which, still visible, are hollowed out to create seawater baths. The Wikipedia page explains: “In 1872, Doctor Auguste Guillon created a spa establishment on the cliff, responding to the fashion for “marine cures” which caused a sensation at the time. Seawater “baths” are dug into the cliff itself: these are still visible today.
