The Poitou-Charentes / Vendee / Charente Maritime region

The department of Charente-Maritime is situated on the west coast of France between Nantes and Bordeaux. Beautiful sandy beaches line the coast and the area is famous for its oyster farms and salt flats. The historic port of La Rochelle lies at the centre of the department and is the access point for the Ile de Ré.

Foe maximum enjoyment you will need a bike – it is by far the easiest and healthiest way to travel. There are more than 60 miles of specially adapted cycle paths which link all the main villages and beaches. In addition, the island is exceptionally flat so hard work is kept to a minimum. You can hire bikes, child seats, carriages - you name it, from the multitude of rental shops throughout the island.

The Ile de Re / La Couarde area

The Ile de Ré is a beautiful island just off the coast of La Rochelle which has managed to keep much of its authentic character. It is dotted with nature reserves where multitudes of wild birds and animals live, protected from the advance of technology and mankind. The island is famous for its salt, which is collected by salters towards the western end of the island, its oysters and its potatoes, all of which you can enjoy in the many restaurants scattered throughout the island’s villages.

The safe waters around the Ile de Ré are enjoyed by all watersports enthusiasts – windsurfers, yachtsmen and all sailors.

Summer market every day in the high season.
Miles of sandy beach - perfect for safe swimming or dingy sailing
Excellent sailing club in La Couarde which enjoyes a protected sailing lake - ideal for beginners.

“A lovely relaxing holiday home.” We travelled to Ile de Re by car with our 2 dogs and arrived to find 13 La Passe a lovely treat at the end of a vey long drive! We stayed for 2 weeks and found the house to be clean, comfortable and really spacious which was needed as we were to be joined mid way through the holiday by my parents, my son and his girlfriend. The garden was a great sun trap and we spent afternoons lazing around in the sun. My dad has mobility problems and the downstairs double bedroom was perfect for him and my mum. My son and his girlfriend explored the Island by bike and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. My husband and I were in need of relaxation and we certainly found it on ile de Re. The local beach was dog friendly at this time of year and perfect for walking the dogs. All in all it was a lovely relaxing holiday and the facilities at 13 La Passe certainly contributed to us having one of the nicest holidays we have had in France. The Walsh & Marshall families.
