1. The magnificent “Vieux Port”

This gorgeous port is one of the most beautiful sights a traveller can get on arrival. Once there, you can see the close relationship between the city and the ocean. Strolling along Quai Duperré, the magnificent towers of Saint-Nicolas and Tour de la Chaîne are an impressive backdrop that many artists like Signaoc or Vernet have depicted in their artworks. When the sun starts to set and the towers are lit up, you can enjoy the view of their reflection on the water, having a seat for your evening meal at any of the delicious quayside restaurants.

2. Visit the famous towers

Saint Nicholas, the tower named after the patron saint of fishermen and anglers is the tallest of them all and it was designed as a fort to protect the town. Inside you will see passages, chambers, a labyrinth of spiral stairways and historical curiosities like the oak stakes of its foundations. The other tower, instead, was more intended to look beautiful with its octagonal spire, although the 4th level was used as a prison for two centuries. Visit the outdoor gallery for a beautiful panorama of the city and the port and see for yourself the wall graffiti engraved by the inmates.

3. The majestic Porte de la Grosse-Horloge

As we said, this city has a rich historical heritage and proof of that is the splendorous gate Porte de la Grosse-Horloge. This is the waterside access to the town, through its medieval walls. Illuminated during the night and rising stately during the day, with the octagonal belfry and its heavy bell, it will flabbergast all visitors!

4. Under the sun at Minimes Beach

Spend a day at the beach with your dearest ones and enjoy the tranquillity on this monitored beach. Located between the marina and the tip of Minimes this sandy beach is well-equipped with all the services during summer. Long days under the sun can be more fun when practising water sports, so sports lovers are in luck as they will have an exclusive small area behind the dike and the port for windsurfing, sailing, surfing and jet skiing.

5. The perfect day away on an island

Ile de Ré is an idyllic island where you can relax on its sandy and picture-perfect beaches. If you want to get away from the crowds, explore the hiking trails or cycle the scenic paths. A visit to the designated UNESCO World Heritage Site capital, Saint-Martin-de-Ré, is a total must. Thinking of something to eat? Any of the seafood restaurants serve exquisite menus with daily fresh fish. Our advice? Sit down, relax and enjoy the island and its slow pace.
