Royan is a town with new architecture, because it was destroyed during the Second World War. The church of Saint Peter is the only monument that escaped destruction at the time. The Museum of Royan is located in the old Marche de Pontaillac. It tells visitors about the history of the city from ancient times to the 1950s. The church of Notre Dame of Royan has a gigantic organ with over 3500 pipes! It is a listed historical monument.
