Phare du Chay — photo spot in 29 Rue de la Paix, 17200 Royan, France
Phare du Chay
Clifftop lighthouse overlooking Royan and the Gironde coast — great for dramatic seascapes, coastal architecture and long-exposure water shots. Best at golden hour and blue hour for warm light and silhouettes; mid-tide reveals foreground rocks for leading lines. Easy roadside access on Rue de la Paix with limited parking nearby; exterior-only photography (check local signage). Weekdays and shoulder season reduce crowds and wind; check drone restrictions and tides before shooting.
