Port of Saint-Martin-de-Ré

Highlight • Viewpoint

Always full in the season ... More like a passage to push. But then the delicious ice cream at La Martinière is easier to eat 🤣

August 13, 2025,Von La Rochelle auf die Île de Ré

Today's ride took us over the nearly 3km-long bridge to the island of Ré. Drivers pay a toll. For cyclists, the crossing is free. You ride along a well-marked shoulder. At low tide, you could see many boats moored in the mudflats. Between the island sections, there were oyster fields, salt marshes, and great bike paths. The 100km are well …

June 7, 2022,Ile de Ré - Grand tour au départ de La Rochelle

Very varied tour, along the coast, through vineyards and salt marshes, in almost all the villages of the island,...

Very easy, just tires to pass some gravel.

Some may feel dizzy on the bridge: the parapet is 1.40m high and the cycle path is well isolated from cars.

Watch out for the wind: half of the route can be difficult!

May 8, 2022,Rundfahrt auf der Ile de Re

Today we took it a bit easier again. A small exploration tour on the Ile-de-Re was pending.

First we went in the direction of Ars-en-Re past beautiful salt pans and swamps. In Ars-en-Re there was a small market with local products. We went on to the Phare des Baleines (lighthouse) and then on to Les Portes-en-Re.
