Exploring Ile de Ré

With its 138 km of cycle paths, Ile de Ré is a paradise for cycling enthusiasts. There's bound to be an itinerary that's just right for you, through varying landscapes.

Our nature outing, Le Phare style 

Imagine a bike ride of around two hours, full of discoveries and shared moments. A mix of sweet and savoury sensations, where every pedal stroke takes you a little further away from it all. Led by our nature guide, you set off towards Phare des Baleines lighthouse at dusk. 
Along the way, admire the changing hues of the salt marshes. Once there, the friendly atmosphere often continues with impromptu pre-dinner drinks : toasting together, sharing anecdotes and savouring the moment. An outing redolent of holidays, freedom and the Ile de Ré way of life.
