Marennes Oléron Saint-Martin-de-Ré

Lilleau des Niges nature reserve

The Ile de Ré is located on a major bird migration route between Africa and the Arctic. Its natural areas are therefore particularly valuable, as they are likely to be home to a large number of bird species. At the tip of the island, in the heart of the Fier d'Ars marshes and mudflats, the Lilleau des Niges reserve was created in 1980 with the aim of preserving this biodiversity.

Cycle paths on the Île de Ré

Are you able to take your bikes with you on your camping vacation on the Ile de Ré? Don't hesitate! The whole of the island is equipped for cyclists: from Rivedoux to Saint-Clément-les-Baleines, the 10 villages on the island are linked by a track that allows you to cycle around the island. The distance between two villages is always less than 10 km, making cycling a family-friendly way to get around the island, even with young children. The Ile de Ré cycle path is linked to the network of greenways and trails in La Rochelle, and in particular to the Vélodyssée, which leads to Châtelaillon, Rochefort and Royan. So you can even arrive on the island by bike!
