Royan

Forgot to mention we took our first trip to one of the local beaches.  Royan is just 25 minutes away.  It was a little chilly and cloudy and our dog and my son insisted on taking a dip anyway.  Lovely beach.  There are lots of restaurants and yachts and I can only image it is a mini Riviera when the sun shines.  Will let you know next time I visit.
