Taxi Royan → Bordeaux
Your Royan → Bordeaux transfer at €250–€305. 130 km, from the Côte de Beauté seaside resort to the Bordeaux quays.
A taxi between Royan and Bordeaux costs between €250 and €305 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 130 kilometres and a journey time of from 80 to 100 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes A10, with ~€14 in tolls. A van for up to seven passengers starts at €395. That price includes luggage, tolls and the driver's approach, and it does not move if traffic builds up: that is the difference with a metered ride, where every minute of waiting is charged and the applicable rate depends on the hour. On an unbooked ride, the amount follows the scale of the prefectoral order applying where the passenger is picked up, higher from seven in the evening to ten in the morning as well as on Sundays and public holidays. The driver tracks the flight or train number given at booking and shifts the pick-up at no extra cost if it is delayed, and cancelling remains free up to six hours before departure.

Royan is the great seaside resort of the Côte de Beauté at the mouth of the Gironde estuary. Destroyed 85% by Allied bombing in January 1945, the city was rebuilt in a bold 1950s modernist style. The Notre-Dame church (1958) is a listed reinforced-concrete masterpiece shaped like an inverted ship. The central market (1956) is another modernist gem housing fishmongers and oyster sellers. Royan has five sandy beaches — the Grande Conche (2.3 km) is one of the finest on the Atlantic coast. The Palmyre zoo, 15 km north, is France's most visited. The Cordouan lighthouse, accessible by boat, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2021.
