Ile de Re
| |
Ile de Re is one of the most beautiful of all the French Atlantic islands, with a picturesque and historic harbour, sleepy villages, vineyards sleeping in the sun, deserted beaches (at least, out of season) and a profusion of hollyhocks lining all the lanes in spring. The main harbour is the tidal harbour of St Martin de Re. The smaller harbour of La Flotte to the SE is unsuitable for yachts as it dries at low water. A road bridge links the island to La Rochelle on the mainland, bringing floods of visitors and weekenders from the city during the summer months.
