The Chay de Royan beach is a continuation of the Pigeonnier cove on the Côte d'Argent promenade and offers a larger area than the latter. This sandy beach is family-friendly with a restaurant on the beach. It is supervised during the summer season (mid-June to early September) and you can rent mattresses and cabins. The environment of this beach is very pleasant, there are fewer houses than on the other beaches in Royan. A large car park is available near this beach (left side). Access is possible for people with reduced mobility via an inclined plane with assistance (the slope is steep). Dogs are prohibited from April 1st to October 31st.

The sight of the lady with the sonorous name "La Liberté éclairant le monde" (in English, "Lady Liberty" for short), impressively raising her arm with the torch, is probably familiar to almost everyone, and most people naturally immediately have the image of New York Harbor in the United States in mind. But perhaps many do not know that the famous Statue of Liberty was given to the American people by France (inaugurated in 1886 by US President Grover Cleveland).
