Grande Conche
The long crescent beach wraps around the town centre in one smooth curve. It is the defining shape of Royan when seen from above.

The map
About this Royan map poster
Royan sits where the Gironde estuary meets the Atlantic, on the coast of Charente-Maritime. From above, the town is shaped by water. A broad crescent of beach, the Grande Conche, curves in front of the centre, and smaller coves and headlands continue along the shore. The estuary opens wide to the south, and a ferry route crosses it to the Médoc.
Much of central Royan was destroyed by bombing in 1945 and rebuilt in the following years in a bold modernist style. This postwar plan shows on the map as a wide, orderly street pattern behind the seafront. Its best-known landmark is the concrete church of Notre-Dame. Beyond the rebuilt centre, older villa neighbourhoods and pine woods stretch along the coast.
A Royan map poster pairs the clean curve of the Grande Conche with the geometric plan of the rebuilt town. In black and white, the estuary and ocean become a large calm field, and the coastline is the strongest line on the sheet. It is a coastal map that feels open and architectural at the same time.

Rebuilt modernist centre
After the 1945 bombing, the centre was replanned with broad, regular streets. That postwar order is easy to spot against the looser coastal suburbs.
Gironde estuary
The widening estuary fills much of the frame to the south. It gives the poster a large, calm open area and a sense of the Atlantic just beyond.

Why Royan
A map that means something
