Camping on the Ile de Re
The beautiful, picturesque island of Île de Ré is located off the west coast of France, in the the Charente Maritime. The island is only small at 30km long and 5km wide and is accessed via a 3km toll bridge from La Rochelle.
Popular with families and anyone who enjoys the usual pleasures of the seaside. The island has a mild and sunny climate, with almost as many hours of summer sunshine as the south of France.
The island is covered by bicycle tracks and this is by far the best way to get around - especially when it gets very busy with tourists in the summer months!
The main port in St Martin de Ré and La Flotte another larger town. Walk along the quays, potter around the shops or eat some deliciously fresh seafood in one of the islands many restaurants.

Getting to the Ile de Ré is fairly straightforward. Head for Nantes on the N137 from Rennes and on the approach to Nantes you will see a small sign on the side of the road marked "Nantes peripherique 4km". This is the Nantes ring road and you need to be on it following signs for Ouest (west) and Bordeaux. Exit the peripherique at junction 48 onto the free bit of the E3 A83 autoroute. From here you can do most of the journey one of two ways:-
1) Via the autoroute for which you pay at certain stages. Afer Nantes just carry on down the E3 A83 and exit at junction 7 onto the D137 and follow signs for la Rochelle.
2) The free way. After Nantes get off the E3 A83 and follow signs for Montaigu, Chantonnay, Chaille-les-Marais and la Rochelle.
Follow signs for the Ile de Ré. The bridge costs €16.50 return in the summer season (late June - early Sept) and €9 return at all other times.
