Ile de Re – a Sun Drenched Paradise in France

For those that follow our blog closely, you’ll know just how much LifeinourVan love a decent coastline…. Ile de Re’s chic Parisian style matches the white houses, colourful shutters and miles of glorious beaches… In fact it’s that good we decided it made our ‘5 Favourite Coastlines across Europe‘
So how did we spend a day on ile de re?
Deciding to walk breakfast off… we headed off to explore the nearby beach and grab some family fun… hunting in rock pools for hermit crabs and trying to body board (sadly no surf… so the girls will have to wait for another time/place). Heading back to the aire within the town, we grabbed the chance to relax and enjoy some of the local wine and seafood for dinner…
A decent bike ride awaits tomorrow… all the way across the top edge of the island to take in the wonderful lighthouse and salt fields in the marshes…
