Between culture and nature
Discovering the different environments of the Ile de Ré ecosystem is one of the most fun ways to get to know the area as a family: the seaside, salt marshes, forests, village centers and cultural sites all come together.
At the Lilleau des Niges nature reserve, our guides and eco-guards offer several outings and activities throughout the year, depending on the weather. Fishing on foot, safaris, birdwatching and other daytime and nocturnal explorations are all exciting and educational.
Exploring the island becomes an exciting family adventure with the Terra Aventura and ONF Découverte applications. The former specializes in Geocaching, offering treasure hunts in Loix and Bois-plage, while the latter offers connected walks in the villages of La Couarde and Les Portes-en-Ré.
Curious minds will have plenty to do, with visits to heritage sites and museums all over the region, and will be able to find out all they need to know about the island’s history, maritime traditions and biodiversity.
Throughout the year, discovery and educational workshops are organized by museums, media libraries and associations, enabling children to develop their creative spirit and keep busy while they learn!
The Ile de Ré is recognized as a family destination par excellence, and in 2019 it will be awarded the “Famille Plus” label, guaranteeing a warm welcome and top-quality services and facilities for all families.
