Discover the Île de Ré in a new light
A natural treasure of beaches, forests, and marshes
The fine sandy beaches lining the island invite you to relax under the gentle Atlantic sun. The salt marshes, with their shimmering pools and mounds of salt, create a lunar landscape where unique flora and fauna thrive, notably attracting migratory birds that delight birdwatchers.
Pine forests and dunes shape the rest of the coastline, offering shaded paths and striking ocean views. The 130 kilometers of cycling paths that crisscross these varied landscapes are an invitation to fully immerse yourself in the nature of the Île de Ré. Discover the Lilleau des Niges nature reserve in Les Portes-en-Ré, take a guided tour of the fish locks, or stroll along the beach to soak up the salty sea air.
The island is part of the Pertuis Charentais Marine Nature Park, created in 2015 to protect and sustainably enhance this vast maritime territory. More than just a postcard backdrop, the island's nature is there to be discovered, smelled, admired, listened to, and even tasted, all year round, through unique and unforgettable experiences.
A preserved historical and cultural heritage
Steeped in history, the Île de Ré is home to UNESCO-listed Vauban fortifications. The fort of Saint-Martin-de-Ré and its imposing walls bear witness to the centuries of conflict that have shaped the island. The churches and their steeples, visible from afar, punctuate the landscape and serve as landmarks during walks.
Villages like La Flotte, Ars-en-Ré, and Sainte-Marie-de-Ré are architectural gems with their cobbled streets, lively markets, and welcoming ports. They embody the island's living soul and invite you to discover the local way of life. The white houses with green or blue shutters, typical of the island, have earned it the nickname "Ré la Blanche" (White Ré).
Over the centuries, the island has undergone transformations dictated by history, climate, and the economy. These changes have shaped the landscapes and given rise to remarkable biodiversity, home to rare and sometimes unique species in France. This natural and cultural heritage makes the Île de Ré an exceptional destination.
Authentic gastronomy, between land and sea
The gastronomy of the Île de Ré is a culinary journey in its own right. The famous Ré oysters, raised in the pure waters of the Atlantic, are a must-try. The PGI-certified new potatoes, grown in the sand, are the perfect accompaniment to seafood.
The markets are overflowing with fresh treasures: fish and shellfish of the day, hand-harvested sea salt, and the famous Pineau des Charentes to be enjoyed in moderation. Samphire, wine, and other local delicacies will delight any gourmet.
This abundance is the result of the passionate work of local producers who carry on ancestral traditions. Their products can be found directly from them, in restaurants, and in the island's oyster shacks.
With its breathtaking landscapes, preserved heritage, and generous gastronomy, the Île de Ré awakens all the senses. Come breathe in the sea spray, immerse yourself in history, and savor the local delicacies for an unforgettable stay on this captivating island.
