Hire a car in Royan with Hertz
Situated along the south-west French coastline, containing several beaches, a fishing port, and a marina, is the thriving seaside location of Royan. Home to some of the finest stretches of sandy beaches in France, it's a much loved popular tourist destination that has visitors flocking every year. With so much to do and see, hiring a car in Royan is possibly one of the best decisions you can make - behind the wheel you can whizz around, going from one exceptional attraction to the next. Just 9 minutes outside of the resort centre, you will find our world class services, situated on the Avenue Maryse Bastie.
When visiting a seaside resort, it would be wrong not to pay a visit to the soft, golden sandy beaches, and Royan is no different. Although there is the main beach, La Grande Conche, in Royan itself, it's worth hiring a car in Royan and driving to the equally beautiful Sandy Coves. Choosing to rent a car in Royan means you can hop from one beach to the next, and still have an easy and accessible means of visiting exhilarating destination, such as the children's favourite of Coolongalook Parc Adventure. Approximately 10 minutes away from the city centre, it's a forest bursting with multi-level adventuring that the little ones, and big kids, can enjoy.
