Ten villages, one way of life

Île de Ré

Linked to the mainland by its bridge since 1988, Île de Ré keeps a rare balance: listed villages with whitewashed lanes, salt marshes, sandy beaches and cycle paths running through the vines. Every village has its own character. The whole point is to find yours.

Property and way of life on Île de Ré

From Rivedoux-Plage to Les Portes-en-Ré, BARNES Île de Ré guides you through the ten villages of the island: the character of each one, the setting, market prices and properties for sale. Village houses in the lanes of Saint-Martin-de-Ré or Ars-en-Ré, contemporary villas with a pool in Le Bois-Plage, single-storey houses facing the vines of Sainte-Marie or character properties in La Flotte: our consultants live on the island all year round, they know every quarter and every lane, and they support you from the valuation to the signature, in complete confidence. Living on Île de Ré is also a way of life: restaurants on the harbours, bistros by the market, oysters tasted at the water's edge, bicycle rides between salt marshes and beaches.
