Le Village du Phare holiday village

Your holiday resort in the Charente-Maritime

Lying in the Charente-Maritime, the Île de Ré offers its holidaymakers a moment of true happiness in a region that’s a world away from the everyday! With its fabulous lifestyle, peace and quiet, nature and landscapes that change every day, you can’t help but fall under its charm!

You’d like to discover the island and all its little secrets? Then we recommend a visit to the charming town of Saint-Clément-des-Baleines. You can even visit the Les Baleines lighthouse, its museum and the Tour des Baleines.

And for those who love a town steeped in history, we have one that’s just perfect for you: Saint-Martin-de-Ré. Historical capital and heart of the island, this charming coastal village is still surrounded by its protective ramparts. Come and discover the innumerable treasures that form part of the heritage of the Île de Ré: the Hôtel de Clerjotte or the half-timbered house known as La Vinatrie.

Adventurer born and bred? Then head off to explore Ars-en-Ré, listed as one of the “Most Beautiful Villages of France”, the ideal spot for those who appreciate tranquillity, nature and a harbour aged by time. To make the most of the gorgeous scenery, set your heading for Le Bois-Plage-en-Ré: the Atlantic Ocean with its sublime beaches and dunes on one side, pine forests and vines on the other. Take a bike and your excursion will be even more enjoyable!

And activities for all the family? Yes, even for that you’ll have all you could possibly want. Take a tour around the island by boat, visit the salt marshes, go exploring on horseback or by bike. How about trying a surfing or windsurfing lesson? And what about the kids, what will they love best? No question about it, the La Rochelle Aquarium! Visit the Île de Ré and you’ll never want to go anywhere else!
