Tourism Sainte-Marie-de-Ré
You can’t help discovering Sainte-Marie on the south coast of the île de Ré for its church spire is even visible from the bridge.
With its 3 100 inhabitants, Sainte-Marie has kept its genuine character. It is a delightful rural village by the sea with its vineyards and “écluses” (mediaeval fish locks) along its coast.
Sainte-Marie-de-Ré, a typical Ile de Ré village.
Through its alleys, walking, cycling or even strolling between old houses and dry-stone walls you come to the Atlantic Ocean. Sportsmen will love the excellent surfing at Les Grenettes too.
Grown-ups and children; there is something for everyone here whether cultural, sporting or plain relaxation.
