Enjoy Valentine’s Day on the Ile de Ré

Enjoy a tandem ride for two

What could be more romantic than two people on the same bike touring the island of Ré? A unique moment you’ll never forget!
The island has no shortage of corners and routes that lend themselves to a cycling interlude.

A tour of the salt marshes plunges you into the peaceful atmosphere of a place where the sun’s reflection on the salt flats creates a unique poetic atmosphere!
Visits to the villages outside the tourist season are worthy of a beautiful romance.

Depending on the season, you can take advantage of the small village beaches, such as those at La Flotte or Saint-Martin, for a quick break. Finally, a stroll north to the gates will give you the feeling of being alone in the world.

Get lost in the narrow streets of the villages

The picturesque charm of the villages of the Retais will not leave you indifferent. It’s so pleasant and romantic to take the time for two to get lost and discover the narrow streets and alleys of these villages, which have fallen asleep in the off-season!

As the mood takes you, stroll through the markets, where colors, scents and flavors awaken the senses. You can take advantage of the boutiques in all the villages, selling clothes, skincare products and souvenirs. You’re sure to find that little gift that your other half will love.

Admire the region’s architecture, heritage and museums. Take a break to contemplate the boats and life in the region!

Stroll along the seafront in total privacy

If there’s one thing you can’t miss on Valentine’s Day on the Ile de Ré, weather permitting, it’s a stroll by the ocean. The gentle sound of the surf and the subtle fragrance of the sea spray will immerse you in a moment that will remain engraved forever as the fiery sun sets, like a tribute to love!

Forget everyday life as you stroll hand-in-hand along the wide beaches of the south coast, less crowded at this time of year. The wilder northern beaches give you the feeling of being alone in the world.
You’ll never know the time has passed.

Share a moment of relaxation with an afternoon at the thalasso

For the occasion, surprise your partner and enjoy a getaway in the heart of the Retagne region.

By the ocean or in the heart of the salt marshes, choose the thalassotherapy establishment that’s right for you!

Enjoy the panoramic view from the top of the Saint-Martin bell tower

Once you’ve climbed the few steps up to the observatory bell tower, you’ll have earned the splendid panoramic view over the island and the village of Saint-Martin!

If you’re lucky, you’ll even see Fort Boyard! Enjoy the sunset together!
