The Royan-Saintes route offers a striking contrast — from the Atlantic beaches and 1950s modernist architecture of Royan to the ancient Roman heritage of Saintes. Royan's Notre-Dame church and central market are listed modernist gems, while its five sandy beaches face the Gironde estuary and the UNESCO-listed Cordouan lighthouse. Saintes, founded as Mediolanum Santonum in the 1st century BC, preserves the Arch of Germanicus (AD 18-19), a 15,000-seat amphitheatre and the Romanesque Abbaye aux Dames (1047), now a music centre. The D733 crosses cognac vineyards and limestone villages.
