The Ile de Re / La Flotte en Re area
Ile de Ré is a captivating island set off the west coast of France next to the city of La Rochelle. Ile de Ré is a chic location with a background of picturesque harbours, restaurants and long white sandy beaches. Cycle paths cover the island and the narrow streets of the 10 villages make foot or bicycle the best way to get around. The island is 19km long and 6km wide and is joined to the mainland by a spectacular 3km bridge which touches down in La Rochelle with its impressive ports and old town just 15 minutes away.
La Flotte en Ré is a very picturesque village situated around an old fishing harbour. There are many cafes and restaurants on the harbour and in the tiny streets of the old town you will find a medieval market open every day of the year.
La Flotte en Ré is steeped in history and has more full time residents than any other village on the island. There is generally a calm atmosphere with classic, authentic island life all around. Next to the harbour is a large sandy beach reached by foot or along the cycle path. La Flotte en Ré is about a 10 minute drive from the bridge to La Rochelle.

Guestbook for Villa Gadiou 13
Mr and Mrs J Allen:
"We stayed stayed at Gadiou 13 for a couple of weeks last summer. It was well appointed and has a private drive with more than enough parking. The house has a great walled garden which is equipped with chairs, table, loungers and a BBQ. The house is located about 50m from the sea is just a short cycle ride way from the delightful town centre. The kids had a great time there and spent most of their time cycling around the property or swimming in the sea."
Mrs C Van Ryssen
“We stayed in these charming villas last summer. The are ideally situated just back from the sea and the cycle path, with La Flotte harbour and centre just a few minutes ride away. We cycled to brilliant beaches every day and the kids had a wonderful time. The walled gardens and driveway at the property made a great safe area for them to play. Cycling or walking back from the restaurants in the evening was a real pleasure and we did not use the car once we had arrived ! Great holiday – We will be back ! ”
