The rhétais villages

The Ile de Ré has 10 villages, each with its own particularity.
You can discover them during your walks or bike rides in the Ile de Ré. The villages all have their particularities with the charm of their small flowered streets by the hollyhocks, the harbours, the typical bell towers and the inhabitants of the island of Ré. Between the north and south of the island of Ré you will have the opportunity to visit the villages and discover their specificities.
 
By foot, by bike or car, exploring Ré la Blanche is already an unforgettable adventure. History and architecture buffs can begin their tour of this island in Charente-Maritime bathed in the Atlantic Ocean with the Vauban fortifications of Saint-Martin-de-Ré, a UNESCO world heritage site, before heading to Fort La Prée in La Flotte. The island houses several remarkable churches including the Saint-Martin church, the Sainte-Catherine de Loix church and the Sainte-Étienne d’Ars-en-Ré church. The Ernest-Cognacq Museum, located in a historical monument in Saint-Martin, is one of the most beautiful museums in Nouvelle-Aquitaine. It bears the Museum of France label, and opens the door to the history of the island. The Marais Salant ecomuseum, Réserve naturelle Lilleau des Niges or Abbey of Châteliers are just a few of the cultural sites to see on the Ile-de-Ré. And of course we can’t talk about this paradise in Charente-Maritime without mentioning its beautiful beaches (La Conche beach, Pas des Bœufs, Gouillauds, Grenettes) and its famous lighthouses like the Baleines lighthouse (Saint-Clément-des-Baleines) and the Chauveau lighthouse (Rivedoux-Plage).
