There are a number of flights from the UK to La Rochelle. Car hire is available but there are buses and trains to Royan. However, careful timetable planning is needed if a flight arrives later in the day.
From St.Pancras, the Eurostar connects with the TGV in Lille or Paris. The second connection is in Angouleme for the final leg to Royan. The total time is seven or eight hours.

Excellent location 10 minute walk from a wide and sandy beach with plenty of restaurants and bars. Would recommend La Siesta Restaurant. The Langoustines' were excellent
A modern spacious apartment in the centre of Royan with a balcony, ideal for meals in the fresh air, providing views of the centre of Royan and the sea. The location is superb; 5 minutes form the central market and 10 minutes away from dozens of bars and restaurants and the huge beach. In many years of renting properties in France this was the first time we didn't move the car. There are plenty of places to visit if you want day trips but moving the car is an option not a necessity.
