Banc du Bûcheron Tour with TEX’
With TEX’, enjoy a custom sea tour at Île de Ré, far from the usual tourist routes. One of our most popular trips is the crossing to the Banc du Bûcheron ️, a secluded sandbank that only appears at low tide.
The tour departs from La Flotte harbor ⚓. On board, the atmosphere is relaxed: a small group, a professional local skipper, and the sea all around.
During the crossing, we sail along the coast and offer a unique perspective of the island from the water: its typical harbors ️, idyllic beaches ️, and protected natural areas . Our skipper will share maritime landmarks and local anecdotes to make your trip both unique and enriching.
Upon arrival near the Banc du Bûcheron, the scenery changes: this sandbank emerges in the middle of the water at low tide. It’s the perfect opportunity to enjoy a unique moment in nature. You can:
- Walk or explore the sandbank,
- Swim or go paddleboarding,
- Have a picnic outdoors,
- Sunbathe,
- Organize a barbecue
Everything is flexible according to your wishes: pace, breaks, and activities are at your own rhythm. No fixed program—just the freedom to enjoy the sea and the natural surroundings.
At TEX’, we prioritize friendliness, safety, and respect for the environment . Our sea tours are designed to offer an authentic and enjoyable experience, away from the crowds. Our goal: to help you discover the sea and Île de Ré differently, leaving you with an unforgettable memory of your maritime escape.
