Île de Ré

Île de Ré is a flat, sun-soaked Atlantic island off La Rochelle, where more than 100 km of cycling paths make the dog in a bike basket the local norm and the leashed beaches, salt marshes and harbour villages are deeply relaxed about pets. Top spots for pets include the UNESCO Vauban fortifications and harbour of Saint-Martin-de-Ré, the marais salants and Phare des Baleines lighthouse at the northwest tip, and the long Atlantic sands of Le Bois-Plage and La Couarde, especially around Saint-Martin-de-Ré inside its star-shaped ramparts, the medieval covered market of La Flotte, and the beach village of Le Bois-Plage-en-Ré.
