Discover the Charms of the Île de Ré
Experience the Île de Ré!
Experience a unique adventure on the Île de Ré, a land of nature, charm, and authenticity. From the bright, flower-filled streets of its picturesque villages with white houses and green shutters, to the salt marshes and fine sandy beaches, everything here is exotic and soothing.
At the market or on a terrace, facing the boats moored at the quay, let yourself be tempted by the local flavors: oysters, AOP potatoes, goat cheeses, local beers, and delicious Pineau des Charentes.
Admire the island and the ocean from the dizzying summit of the Phare des Baleines lighthouse and end your day with an unforgettable sunset on the Gollandières pier!
What to Visit with Family on the Île de Ré?
On vacation on the Île de Ré with your children, you’ll first have the opportunity to experience multiple outdoor adventures, with bike excursions in the salt marshes, hikes on coastal paths, and birdwatching outings.
The family-friendly beaches of Bois-Plage-en-Ré or La Couarde are perfect for swimming and playing with young children. The calm waters of the Gollandières beach welcome you for a family introduction to kayaking or paddleboarding.
When you visit the fortifications of Saint-Martin-de-Ré, don’t forget to greet the donkeys in trousers at the Barbette park!
The Joy of Water Activities
Staying on an island means first and foremost enjoying the omnipresence of the ocean. The beaches are never far from our prestigious establishments L’Armateur du Soleil, your hotel group in Charente-Maritime!
The numerous nautical clubs offer lessons and courses to learn or improve at any age in sailing. Embark on a catamaran or an Optimist to learn how to navigate!
If you like speed and thrills, opt for a jet-ski session in Saint-Martin-de-Ré or La Flotte. The large beaches like Rivedoux are renowned spots for kitesurfing and windsurfing.
From Bois-Plage or Loix, you can finally explore the Ré coastline aboard a sea kayak or paddleboard!
To explore this paradise island and enjoy all these water activities, stay at the Les Fougères campsite, the Le Clos du Galion Hotel, or the Hôtel & Spa Marin on the Île de Ré.
