Often associated with summer holidays, Île de Ré is well known for its beaches and water sports. Yet, this enchanting island is worth visiting all year round and, particularly, in spring, when the island reveals another facet of its charm. This is an island that invites you to savour life.

Be active in spring on Île de Ré

In spring, Île de Ré bursts into colour. Fields of wild flowers and gardens in full bloom create a picturesque, colourful landscape. Nature lovers will enjoy walking through the salt marshes, where the plants and wildlife awaken after the winter. It is the ideal time to observe the migratory birds that stop off on the island during their long-distance journey.

With mild temperatures and longer days, spring is the perfect time to enjoy the many outdoor activities on Île de Ré.

Cycle paths are much less busy than in the summer. Cycle through local villages and unspoilt natural landscapes. Hike along coastal paths or through pine forests with breathtaking views and incomparable tranquillity.
