Île de Ré – Atlantic Island with Whitewashed Villages and Cycling Routes
Île de Ré is a popular island off the Atlantic coast of France, just west of La Rochelle. Known for its whitewashed houses with green shutters, sandy beaches and relaxed atmosphere, the island combines coastal charm with easy accessibility via a bridge from the mainland.
The landscape features dunes, salt marshes, vineyards and small fishing harbours. Cycling is the preferred way to explore, with more than 100 kilometres of dedicated cycle paths linking picturesque villages such as Saint-Martin-de-Ré, La Flotte and Ars-en-Ré. The fortifications of Saint-Martin are listed as UNESCO World Heritage.
The Atlantic beaches offer space for swimming, sunbathing and water sports. Traditional salt production continues in the marshes, adding to the island’s authentic character.
Campsites are located across the island, often close to beaches or village centres, offering touring pitches and rental accommodation options. Île de Ré is ideal for families, cyclists and travellers seeking a coastal island escape in France.
