Ile De Re


We had a marvelous drive down to La Rochelle, yesterday avoiding the motorways. Having stopped off for an ice cream we then made our way across the 3km bridge to the Ile De Re.

Our hotel (Maree) is situated right on the front, overlooking a beautiful bay and the bridge.

After dropping our luggage off we toured this wonderful island. With the sun shinning it had the feel of a Carribean island, with its little houses, blue sea and white beaches.

Before we returned to our hotel, we stopped off at the Islands capital (St Martins) to have a Campari whilst relaxing and overlooling the gorgeous harbour.

Ile De Re, if you get a chance to visit this place, do so, its stunning.
