The Auditorium of Royan, the curved elegance of the seafront

On the Royan seafront, the Auditorium catches the eye with its very particular curved shape. A major element of the architectural heritage of the city, it illustrates the boldness of the reconstruction. The Royan audio-guided tour stops here to evoke this modern concert hall, an emblem of twentieth-century architecture.
