About the location

Resort Description

Off the western coast of France, this island exudes its charm and is also called “Ré La Blanche”.
Saint Martin de Ré, the historic capital of the Ile de Ré, is a delightful village, built up around its harbour and protected by ramparts.
At the heart of the village, the harbour is still the focal point sheltering fishing boats and yachts and is a key place to stop at and visit for all holiday makers visiting the island.
You can enjoy 80 km of cycling lanes all over the island. The citadel, fortifications, museums as well as the streets and alleys are all treasures of the Ile de Ré heritage.
