With its 141 km of safe cycle paths, the flat Île de Ré is an ideal playground for cycling enthusiasts.
Between salt marshes, wild beaches, and pine forests, cycling on the Île de Ré means taking the time to explore one of the most beautiful gems of the Atlantic coast!
Cycling around the Île de Ré allows you to explore its most iconic landscapes.
Picturesque ports, charming villages like Le Bois Plage-en-Ré—where the Élégance Suites Hôtel is located—and ocean views mark this route.
Practical information: You can cycle around the Île de Ré in both directions. The tour of the island is approximately 50 km, and most cyclists choose to start from Saint-Martin-de-Ré and follow the west coast. A route that will offer you magnificent views of the ocean, dunes, and wild beaches.
Île de Ré is also famous for its salt marshes, where more than 100 salt workers perpetuate their ancestral know-how. And what better way to discover them than by bike?
Following the cycle paths through these typical Ré landscapes, you'll pass through authentic villages, such as La Couarde-sur-Mer or Loix, and enjoy exceptional views of the Atlantic.
Look up from your handlebars to observe the rich and varied wildlife of Ré, including the many migratory birds of the Lilleau des Niges Nature Reserve.
For a more shaded getaway, head to the island's national forests, veritable green lungs where it's pleasant to cycle away from the sun. The Lizay Forest, near La Conche Beach, and the Trousse-Chemise Forest, made famous by Charles Aznavour, are havens of freshness where the scent of pine trees blends with the sea air.
And to rest your calves after your Rétaise trip, relax in the heated outdoor pool at the Élégance Suites Hôtel***.
