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 🤣

Great cycle path by the water.

Highlight • Beach

Beautiful small beach with two accesses, via the North it's a bit longer but you arrive directly on the sand, and there are fewer people.

Loix

Highlight • Religious Site

The small church square in the middle of Loix is definitely worth a stop. Beautiful to look at and garnished with a very relaxed French flair!

June 23, 2023,Rundtour Von La Couarde-sur-Mer über Loix und Saint Martin

After 15 years we rode our bikes for the first time today. It was wonderful, although the rental bikes didn't exactly invite you to top sporting performances. But the bike path infrastructure on the island is perfect, and there are no significant elevations, so it was fun with the carrots too.

Super easy route, but beware the hire bike wobblers.
