On the side of Royan, the proximity of the Atlantic Ocean adds an extra dimension to outdoor cooking, with seafood that finds its full expression on a brazier, particularly thanks to a quick and controlled cooking method that preserves textures and flavours.
Organising a meal on the brazier facing the ocean, surrounded by dunes and marram grass, creates a complete sensory experience, where the sound of the waves, the smells of cooking, and the warmth of the fire combine to offer a unique moment.
