As the weather warms up, several villages on the Île de Ré host night markets, offering a lovely way to extend the day. These summer events combine crafts, local produce, gourmet treats and a friendly atmosphere.
Each village has its own unique character. Some host daily night markets during the high season, whilst others organise more occasional events, often linked to summer festivities.
Marche Nocturne La Flotte Ile De Re Mathieu Genon

In the heart of the port town, the Passage de l’Îlot night market brings summer evenings to life with its many stallholders. Designers, craftspeople, interior decorators, local producers and sellers of specialities invite you to explore in a lively, family-friendly atmosphere.
In La Flotte, holidaymakers and locals can also enjoy a regular night market during the summer. Just a stone’s throw from the harbour and the seafront, the stalls showcase crafts, original creations and local produce. It’s a chance to see the village in a different light and to make the evening last a little longer in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Throughout the summer season, other towns on the Île de Ré may host evening craft markets, designer markets or evening shopping events.
In Ars-en-Ré, Le Bois-Plage-en-Ré, La Couarde-sur-Mer, Sainte-Marie-de-Ré, Saint-Clément-des-Baleines, Loix, Les Portes-en-Ré and Rivedoux-Plage, these events are usually organised to coincide with specific occasions, local festivals or summer evenings.
Night markets complement the traditional markets found in the villages of the Île de Ré.
Here, a leisurely stroll takes precedence over everyday shopping: you can wander around, chat with the stallholders, discover unique creations and soak up the Île de Ré way of life.
