Suggestion à réaliser en
3 days

Day 1

Romantic day, canoeing in the marshes and a visit to the lighthouse

As soon as you arrive on the island, your romantic holiday for two can begin. Once you’ve crossed the bridge, the beauty of the scenery will quickly make you forget your daily routine. Take advantage of the temperate climate to stroll around and discover the village of Sainte-Marie, its market and its various districts between vineyards and the ocean.

With your mind rested and refreshed, it’s time to sample the local flavors in one of your village restaurants or with your shopping done at one of the island’s ten markets.
Once you’ve satisfied your taste buds, head off to Loix for a canoe trip, an opportunity to spend a privileged moment in the heart of the salt marshes and enjoy this timeless interlude.

To round off the day, head for the Phare des Baleines for a 257-step ascent, where a unique panoramic view of the Ile de Ré awaits you – a unique moment for two.

Day 2

Discovery and the gentle way of life à la rétaise

Put yourself in the shoes of the Retais for this second day, and start by renting a bicycle or tandem for even more romance.

Cycling allows you to admire the splendid landscapes of this unique island at your own pace.
Head for La Flotte and explore its narrow streets, medieval-inspired market and bustling port, and surrender yourself to this small village of unrivalled charm.

Return to your bikes and head for Saint-Martin, where you’ll enjoy lunch on a terrace overlooking the port. After lunch, explore the Vauban fortifications, flower-filled alleyways and typical port. Saint-Martin’s observatory bell tower is a unique place from which to take in the views, the village and much more.
Enjoy an aperitif on the port of Saint-Martin before dining in the restaurant of your choice for a well-deserved evening for two.

Day 3

Sensations and idleness

Enjoying romantic moments together is great, but doing it with a few laughs is even better! Why not round off your holiday with a day of thrills and spills?

Now’s the time to push yourselves to the limit together, with water sports such as surfing or windsurfing, or down-to-earth activities such as horseback riding on the beach or guided gourmet tours.

In the afternoon, make the most of the last few moments of the day with a stroll along the ocean or through the village of your choice. Pack your bags with local produce and other souvenirs from the Ile de Ré, if you feel like it.

Where are the best beaches for water sports?

Le Bois and La Couarde are renowned for their large beaches, ideal for water sports such as surfing, paddleboarding and kiteboarding.
