The ports of Ile de Ré
Here's an overview of the ports on theIle de Ré, where you can stroll, enjoy a coffee on the terrace, eat an ice cream or moor your sailboat.
The port of Rivedoux
The port of Rivedoux-Plage is the first port you'll come across when you arrive on the Ile de Ré. It's also the oldest. Its construction was authorized in 1562, but it wasn't until 1845 that a jetty and pier enabled the development of trade and navigation. Today, a few berths are reserved for visiting yachtsmen.
We love: the lovely view of the Ile de Ré bridge and the Breton inlet!
The port of La Flotte en Ré
In the heart of the village, close to the market, restaurants and lively terraces, the port of La Flotte is a popular place to stroll for its summer entertainment, shows, concerts, fireworks... To welcome yachtsmen, the port has 200 berths on pontoons and 150 berths in collective moorings.
- We love: the old rigs moored in the harbour, some of which are listed as historic monuments!
The port of Saint-Martin-de-Ré
Protected by the ramparts of the Citadelle, the port of Saint-Martin-de-Ré is located in the heart of the town. Whatever the season, it's a lively place, with plenty of stores, bars and restaurants. On the yachting side, there are 280 boats alongside the quay and on pontoons, including 50 berths reserved for visiting yachtsmen.
- We love: the famous La Martinière ice cream parlour, just across from the harbour. An institution on the island of Ré!
The Port of Ars-en-Ré
In the north of the island, Ars-en-Ré is a must for your camping holiday! Formerly a trading port for salt and wine, the port of Ars-en-Ré is now mainly dedicated to tourism and boating. With 550 moorings afloat, it is the leading marina on the Ile de Ré.
- We love: the walk along the Fier d'Ars, between the ocean and the salt marshes!
