Île de Ré

"Île de Ré" is a dream destination to travel on the French Atlantic coast. The off season period is ideal to stay at a lower cost while enjoying the ideal conditions to admire its landscapes and visit its heritage. While doing some research before my family excursion, I realized how difficult it was to have pictures of the island that were not an aerial view of the bridge or a sunny advertising beach. This article shows "l'Île de Ré" in the sun but also in the early morning or in the rain...

Morning atmosphere...

In the early morning, when the island is still asleep, it shows a different face. Little color and special atmosphere that gives the impression of being alone in the world. The moment is soothing, the black clouds are gradually fading, it’s gone for the photos!

A world apart

Being in Ré in May, before the big tourist tides, is to live an authentic experience, to adopt the art of living while in the discretion of the inhabitants, to slow down the pace, to enjoy the mild climate, to discover the charm of the streets and see the first flowers blossom.

Saint-Martin-de-Ré

Listed as a UNESCO heritage site for its military fortifications inherited from Vauban, Saint-Martin-de-Ré is a privileged place for visitors to the island. Martinais and Martinaises contemplate the parade of onlookers in the alleys leading to the port. The mild weather sometimes gives way to passing downpours that betray the researchers of continental sun. This situation creates a paradoxical spectacle where local traders display, not without mischief, swimsuits and towels to visitors armed with umbrellas.

Finally the sun !

The bad weather is only temporary on the island because the sun always reappears. At this moment, all the beauty of the place is magnified: the sky takes its most beautiful blue color, the smell of salt and the sound of the waves of the ocean polarize locals and tourists, the sand takes again its ocher hue.
