The Church of the Assumption of Our Lady, also known as the Pontaillac Chapel, is a small 19th-century chapel built to serve the parishioners of the Pontaillac seaside district. Replaced around 1890 by a larger chapel (Our Lady of the Angels), it was deconsecrated and converted into a private residence, while retaining its heritage exterior: a discreet yet significant witness to the religious and urban history of Royan and its beaches.
📍 Location and context
• The building is located on Boulevard de la Falaise in Royan, facing the ocean, in the Pontaillac/Vaux-sur-Mer district, right on the beach.
