Flower Camping Le Platin - La Redoute

Île de Ré is made to be explored by bike. Across the entire island, there is a network of cycling paths that lead you past villages, beaches, and salt fields. Along the way, you'll come across small markets, terraces, and harbors. The routes are flat and straightforward, making it easy to head out for a day without a fixed plan. You can rent a bike near the campsite.

Around the campsite you'll find villages where daily life mostly takes place outdoors. In Rivedoux-Plage, you can walk along the harbor, watch oyster farmers at work, and pick up fresh products at small shops or markets. The white houses with colored shutters and hollyhocks define the streetscape. Further on the island, you'll find more villages like these, each with its own atmosphere. Wander through narrow streets, stop for a coffee, or join in for local dishes. Oysters and other shellfish play a major role here. It's not a place where you check off all the sights, but somewhere you walk around and naturally end up staying.

Besides beaches and villages, there is plenty to do for those who want to be active. In the area you can go paddleboarding, kayaking, or sailing along the coast. Horseback riding is also an option, as well as fishing or hiking along the coastlines and through nature reserves on the island. The combination of water and land makes it easy to alternate activities. Start your day out on the water in the morning, then go cycling or for a walk later in the day. Thanks to the flat landscape and short distances, everything remains manageable. You don’t need to plan much to have a varied day, and many activities are located within a short distance from the campsite.
