Ile de Ré

Discover Ile de Ré

If you pop over to the island known as ” Ré la blanche ” because of the characteristic colour of its traditional houses, make sure you take your bicycle to appreciate it to the full. With more than 100 kilometres of cycle paths you can discover the varied landscapes of the island (wild moors, salt marshes, beaches and picturesque villages) and immerse yourself in the Rétaise culture.

If the Ile de  Ré is a paradise for cyclists, it also owes its reputation to its magnificent fine sandy beaches, some of which are classified as the most beautiful in Europe.

As you pass through authentic villages with small picturesque ports (the most known being Saint Martin de Ré, Loix, Les portes en Ré, Rivedoux…), make sure you take a break for a drink or a meal on the shaded restaurant terraces.
