Nestled on the banks of the Seudre river, just a few kilometres from Royan, the L’Éguille-sur-Seudre Camping-Car Park site has established itself as a top choice for motorhome owners in search of peace, authenticity, and local discoveries. We met with the town's Mayor, who looks back at the recent developments and the municipality's dedication to providing a warm, high-quality welcome to road-trippers.
It was in June 2023 that the CAMPING-CAR PARK site in L’Éguille-sur-Seudre opened its doors. Originally, it was simply an unused open plot. "Rather than leaving it abandoned, we decided to turn it into a motorhome site," explains the Mayor. The municipality quickly added essential facilities. In 2025, modern sanitary facilities with hot showers were installed.
This commitment to continuous improvement reflects the town's dedication to providing a comfortable and convenient welcome for all traveling visitors.
Setting up the site wasn't without its challenges. Noise issues were reported at the start, but the council acted quickly: "We had a wall built to reduce the noise. It makes a world of difference for the motorhome owners' comfort."
The efforts have paid off: the town's tourist visibility has increased by 30% since the site opened. And that's no coincidence: L’Éguille-sur-Seudre offers a unique setting, blending nature, heritage, and local gastronomy.
Situated on the edge of the salt marshes, the village is renowned for its traditional oyster port, brought to life by colourful huts, local producers' stalls, and oyster tastings straight from the beds.
But L’Éguille-sur-Seudre is more than just its gastronomy. The town has recently highlighted its historical archives, allowing visitors to trace local history through various media, explanatory panels, and preserved documents. A real bonus for heritage enthusiasts.
"We have recovered numerous archives that help us better understand the village's evolution. It's fascinating for curious visitors."
Active motorhome travellers won't be left out either: bike hire is available directly from the tourist office, allowing visitors to explore the surrounding area at their own pace. The paths around the marshes feature peaceful landscapes, perfect for gentle rides and walks.
And for those looking to add variety to their stay, Royan is just 15 km away, featuring beaches, a daily market, vibrant summer events, and iconic 1950s architecture.
Easy to reach, well-equipped, and full of charm, L’Éguille-sur-Seudre has everything to win over motorhome travellers—especially seniors who appreciate nature, history, and fresh seafood.
Thanks to the CAMPING-CAR PARK Access Card, travellers can easily access the site and all network amenities. This card also unlocks discounts and special offers with local partners.
