It's hard not to fall in love with oysters on the Ile de Ré! Enjoy them in an oyster farmer's hut in the marshes, on a terrace facing the sea, in Saint-Martin-de-Ré or La Couarde-sur-Mer. You can also enjoy "La Rétaise" fish soup, shellfish velouté or wood-fired mussel éclade...
And if you're looking for unusual flavors: caramels with fleur de sel, salicornes, goat's cheese, jams, honey and cookies from the Ile de Ré are just some of the specialties to bring back in your luggage! And let's not forget the island's wines, synonymous with vacations, conviviality and tourism. Ile de Ré has some great Pineau and Cognac tastings in store, to be enjoyed chilled without ice cubes, but in moderation!
