Ile de Re, even the sun loves to vacation here—an impressive 300 days a year, just as much as the Côte d’Azur! That’s why this French island is often called the Saint-Tropez of the Atlantic Coast.
With well-maintained bike paths, it’s the perfect place for scenic bike rides. Cycling is the primary mode of transport here, making it easy to explore picturesque villages, ride through salt marshes, and pass by oyster beds. And while you’re there, why not take a moment to stop and enjoy fresh oysters paired with a delicious local wine from the island? Or enjoy a long lunch to savor the local food.
Everything here is incredibly relaxed, and sometimes, that’s just what we need.
