Spring in bloom on the Ile de Ré

The island of Ré is often associated with summer vacations, with its beaches and water sports. However, this enchanting territory deserves to be discovered all year round, especially in spring. During this season, the island reveals another facet of its charm, where life is good.

Get moving

In spring, the Ile de Ré is transformed into a veritable tableau vivant. Fields of wild flowers and gardens in full bloom create a picturesque, colorful landscape. Nature lovers will enjoy strolling through the salt marshes, where the flora and fauna awaken after the winter. It’s also the ideal time to observe the migratory birds that stop off on the island on their long journey.

With mild temperatures and longer days, spring is the perfect time to enjoy the many outdoor activities on the island of Ré.
Cycling trails, much less frequented than in summer, invite you to cycle through typical villages and unspoilt natural landscapes. Hiking along coastal paths or through pine forests offers breathtaking views and incomparable serenity.

For water sports enthusiasts, spring is also an ideal time for sailing, paddling or kayaking. The weather conditions are often ideal for an introduction to the sport, or for more intense activities on calm, serene seas.
