The island of Ré can be explored by means of walks accessible to people with reduced mobility. Designed to allow you to discover the territory in an adapted way, their duration and distance have been adjusted to offer you a comfortable experience while allowing you to visit the must-sees in each of our villages. Stroll through the heart of the villages, along the coast, near the marshes or at the edge of the forests – there’s a wide range of landscapes to be seen on one of our accessible itineraries.
The island’s heritage is also accessible to all. Learn more about the history of the Ile de Ré, the local flora and fauna, maritime traditions and salt production by visiting one of the museums on the island which have been awarded the “Tourisme et Handicap” label. You can also take a guided tour of the salt marshes and get a glimpse of the salt-maker’s trade, in which ancestral techniques continue to be used. The Baleines lighthouse and the citadel built by Vauban are also partly accessible.
If you’d like to take in the view from the seaside, you can visit one of our destination’s accessible beaches. Each village has at least one supervised beach, with swimming facilities. Two of them, Plage Sud in Rivedoux-Plage and Plage du Peu Ragot in La Couarde-sur-mer, have been awarded Tourisme et Handicap certification. Access ramps, tiralos, seahorse chairs – these are just some of the facilities available in the various communes, for a moment of relaxation and pleasure lulled by the sound of the waves.
