All Rétais will tell you: the Ile de Ré can be visited by bike. Cyclotourists have at their disposal a network of 110 km of cycle paths that connect the ten municipalities. These secure and very well maintained paths cross the varied landscapes that characterize Ré la Blanche so well: marshes, woods, coastal landscapes … The island extends only 30 km and has no significant elevation. Therefore, you do not have to be a cyclist to enjoy the joys of cycling.
Bike child or adult, electric, bike follower, trailer … Every member of your tribe found the bike made for him? Pedal your hair in the wind and above all, open your eyes!
To make your mark, start with an 11.4 km discovery tour around La Couarde. This route is accessible to children, count approximately 2 hours to realize it quietly. You will see the beach, the vineyards, the marshes and the local heritage. A nice way to have a glimpse of what awaits you!
If the salt marshes attract you, go for the Swamp Trail. This fabulous 18.5 km circuit around the Fier d’Ars will allow you to go back in time, meet the salt workers and discover the mystery of the salt harvest, a booming activity on the island. Nineteenth century and still continues today.
From the campsite, you can also reach Saint-Martin-de-Ré to stroll on the port dominated by the fortifications Vauban, Bois-Plage-en-Ré and cross the woods to Rivedoux-Plage.
To go to the western part of the island, you will have to take the bike path that runs along the coast from Saint-Martin. You will then have the opportunity to turn right to go to Loix, or continue straight towards Ars, Saint-Clément-les-Baleines and Portes-en-Ré.
A cycling information point is located at Bois-Plage (Gros Jonc). You will find another one in Rivedoux (Sablanceaux), in Ars-en-Ré (The Martray) and in the Portes-en-Ré (House of the Fier).
