About the home

Maison Fleurie is a recently refurbished and interior designed house within the historic walled town of St Martin de Re. It is located in a peaceful lane, moments away from the beautiful harbour and market of this historic town.

The house is unusual for St Martin in that it has a large amount of both internal and external space. The house itself has 4 bedrooms and can easily accommodate 2 families to a total of eight people. There is a large open plan kitchen- dining- living space with a table to seat 8 people comfortably. The 2 bathrooms and kitchen have recently been refurbished to a high standard. The luxury of hot/cold aircon together with a log-burning stove make the house comfortable in all seasons.
In the garden there is a heated pool, parking, an eating area, a fashionable seating area and plenty of recreational space.

It is the perfect location for exploring St. Martin and the rest of the island.

The Poitou-Charentes / Vendee / Charente Maritime region

Off the French coast by La Rochelle (Charente-Maritime), Ile de Ré (pop. 12,000) is a narrow flat island 30 kilometres long. Of all the Charentais islands, Ré is undoubtedly the most popular, it is the premier French weekend and holiday destination. Attracted by the island's beauty, many artists, writers and painters bought salt-workers’ and fishermen’s houses in the 1960s, and the island started becoming fashionable, a trend which has lasted to present day. The beauty of Ile de Ré is that whilst it is undoubtably exceptionally chic it has managed to retain all its authentic charm with white lime-washed, shuttered houses and narrow streets full of flowers and cobbles.

In the north, the Fier d’Ars-en-Ré is a patchwork of mudflats and salt marshes, where every kind of wader and bird of prey is to be found. The flat-bottomed boats, the rakes of the salt-gatherers, the oyster beds and the scent of the moorland give the Ile de Ré a romanticism without equal.

The island is famous for its oysters, potatoes and salt. Salt is collected from salt farms towards the western end of the island. All the islands produce can be enjoyed in the many restaurants scattered throughout the island’s villages.

The waters around Ile de Ré are loved by all watersports enthusiasts – windsurfers, yachtsmen, rock poolers, boogie boarders and sailors. The Atlantic Ocean is much less dangerous here than in other areas of the mainland coast so bathing is recommended for all.

The island is famous for its beautiful bike rides and hiring a bike is the ideal way to see the island. Whether you are young or old, hiring a bike is the best way to see the island at your leisure – it is by far the easiest and healthiest way to travel. There are over 60 miles of cycle paths linking all the main villages and beaches. The island is exceptionally flat, so hard work is kept to a minimum! There are many hire shops so it’s easy to hire bikes for all abilities as well as child seats, tag-a-longs or chariots for the younger amongst us.

The bike routes are dedicated to cyclists in most parts and shared in the towns.

The Ile de Re / St Martin, Ile de Re area

St. Martin is the picture-postcard-pretty capital of the island. Its 17th century citadel and ramparts were built by Vauban, architect to Louis XIV, to protect the town from repeated attacks by the Dutch and English.

The quayside has many cafes, bistros and brasseries to enjoy oysters, and assorted seafood washed down with a glass of local wine as you watch the world go by.

St. Martin as the island capital is the perfect base from which to explore. Being around the middle of the island means that you can visit all the 10 towns on the island with a bit of pedal power. Yet, there are also plenty of facilities within the town for those changeable days and those lazy days where all you want to go is go to the excellent local market and stock up, without having to go to far.

All 10 towns on the island are worth exploring, La Flotte has a superb medieval market and harbour, Ars has a great market and some great scenery. St Marie is perfect for rock pooling. The lighthouses at St Clement are worth a visit, perhaps via the salt marshes. The beaches in La Noue are of the perfect sandy variety and kids love the waves around here. The watersports centre is a short ride from St Martin (sailing, windsurfing...), and horseriding, tennis or even golfing are all readily available. Because all the natural open spaces such as:- the vineyards, forests, salt marshes, oyster farms, are preserved this means the island remains unspoilt and a delight to explore.

We believe, whatever your situation, you cannot fail to have an enjoyable holiday on Ile de Re. There really is something for everyone - it is a haven and inspiration for artists, writers, cyclists, walkers, birdwatchers, gourmets, explorers, fishermen and sailors.

“Fantastic Place Lovely Location” We stayed at the house last year. The house was superbly equipped and within walking distance of the super chic St Martin with it's lovely shops, restaurants and bakeries. The kids loved the pool and the relaxed cylcing on the island made for a wonderful trip.

05 Oct 2011

“Fabulous property in great location. Five star.” This was our fifth holiday on Ile de Re and fourth time staying in St Martin. The house was very comfortable, spotlessly clean and well equipped. Beyond that it was decorated and furnished beautifully. If you are looking for peace and quiet but within a five minute walk of the hustle and bustle of the port/harbour, look no further. The owner was a pleasure to deal with and her agent on the island was efficient and responsive. It is magical place for a delightful holiday.
