To make getting around as pleasant as possible, Ile de Ré offers a number of transport options.

Getting here couldn’t be easier: the regional bus route 150 serves all 10 villages on Ile de Ré, as well as La Rochelle station, all year round!

From April to mid-October, you can also cross the Ile de Ré bridge free of charge on the RespiRé shuttles for pedestrians and cyclists. Check the timetable for operating days and times.

Once on the island, take advantage of the many free RespiRé village shuttles, which are ideal for getting from one village to another, enjoying the beaches and markets or simply getting around in a practical way!

Bus route 150

Bus route 150 (La Rochelle <>Ile de Ré) is operated by OCECARS for the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region. It serves all 10 villages on the island and runs all year round.

The main stops in La Rochelle are:
Gare routière (Gare SNCF): bus and train stations
Aéroport: La Rochelle-Île de Ré Airport
Belvédère: Le Belvédère car park near the bridge (La Rochelle side)

During the summer season, bus routes 151 and 152 are added due to the increased number of visitors on the island.

Due to the Île de Ré Triathlon taking place in Saint Clément des Baleines, the ‘Phare des Baleines’ and ‘Grand Fossé’ stops will not be served on 13 June from 5.00 pm. The nearest stops are Salorge or La Conche.

   Bus and shuttles, advice

We strongly advise you to plan your journeys well in advance, particularly when travelling from Île de Ré to La Rochelle (train station, airport connections, car-sharing, etc.).

During long weekends and on days when school holidays begin or end, we recommend taking the bus one, two or even three buses earlier than the one that best suits your connection.

Disruptions are to be expected, particularly when crossing the bridge during busy periods.
