Evenings out on the île de Ré

Enjoy a cinema screening

Fancy a trip to the cinema while you’re on the Ile de Ré? It’s possible thanks to Ré Domaine Culturel – La Maline, a cultural venue open to residents of the Ile de Ré, holidaymakers and people passing through who enjoy theatrical performances.

Located in La Couarde-sur-Mer, La Maline is a lively place and home to the island’s only cinema. Come and relax for an evening and enjoy a film or a show! Find out what’s on at the reception desks in the villages or on our website.

Fill up on events and concerts

The Ile de Ré also celebrates culture with musical evenings, open-air screenings and live performances. The music and jazz festivals organised throughout the summer offer evening concerts in exceptional settings such as churches or at the foot of the Phare des Baleines. These events offer a unique opportunity to enjoy a unique experience in harmony with nature, under a starry sky.

Going out for a drink and a party

The island’s villages, including Saint-Martin-de-Ré, La Flotte and Ars-en-Ré, are full of wine bars, restaurants and terraces where you can enjoy a good night out. Many establishments across the island offer a relaxed atmosphere with acoustic concerts, perfect for enjoying a drink while listening to live music. Some restaurants organise themed evenings, showcasing local specialities such as oysters and seafood, accompanied local bands playing in the background.

Fire up the dance floor

For those looking for more festive evenings, the Ile de Ré offers DJ nights and open-air events during the summer season. Places like Le Bastion in Saint-Martin-de-Ré and La Java des Baleines are a must for those who like to dance and party in a friendly atmosphere. These evenings attract locals and visitors alike, creating a warm and lively atmosphere.
