May 8, 2022,Rundfahrt auf der Ile de Re

Today we took it a bit easier again. A small exploration tour on the Ile-de-Re was pending.

First we went in the direction of Ars-en-Re past beautiful salt pans and swamps. In Ars-en-Re there was a small market with local products. We went on to the Phare des Baleines (lighthouse) and then on to Les Portes-en-Re.

May 19, 2025,🇨🇵 Île de Ré – Runde zum Leuchtturm

Île de Ré is said to be a great place to cycle, and I'm going to try it out today:

So I cycle westward along well-maintained and signposted paths, mostly separated from car traffic, to the Phare des Baleines, through the salt flats with their numerous birdlife. The small detour due to the road closure definitely brings additional positive moments.

Beautiful bike ride through the small villages and over the salt pans on the Île de Ré. There was still a strong headwind on the way to the lighthouse, but then it was very relaxed on the way back and while we were enjoying an aperitif in a bar in Saint-Martin-de-Ré, a princess rally (it really was called that) drove …

June 21, 2025,Île de Ré - Saint Martin bis Le Phare

This island is great for exploring by bike. We chose the western part of the island and cycled along the coast, through vineyards and cornfields, to Le Phare. Here, you can enjoy a refreshing swim in the sea. Along the way, we passed charming little towns, a weekly market, and the salt fields and their shops.
