In January, the island of Ré reveals a more intimate and authentic side, ideal for recharging your batteries at the pace of winter.

Markets, nature and heritage

Discover the island in a different way, through its villages and landscapes

This month’s events invite you to discover the island in a friendly, peaceful and invigorating atmosphere. The local markets continue to liven up the villages, providing an opportunity to meet local producers.

Nature lovers can enjoy walks and cycle rides through the salt marshes, wild beaches and forests, while heritage enthusiasts can visit the Vauban Fortifications of Saint-Martin-de-Réthe remains of the Abbaye des Châteliers in La Flotte and the mythical Baleines lighthouse, sublimated by the winter light.

A cultural and inspiring winter

When January rhymes with creativity and easy living

January is also the month for cultural events: the Nuits de la Lecture (Reading Nights) will be held from 21 to 25 January 2026 on the theme of “Towns and Countryside”. Throughout the month, exhibitions, conferences, creative workshops and artistic encounters are the rhythm of local life.

Calm, well-being and discovery, January on the Ile de Ré offers a gentle and inspiring interlude, perfect for starting the year away from the hustle and bustle, in the heart of a lively and welcoming region.
