On the southern coast of Ile de Ré, 15km from La Rochelle,

the village of Sainte-Marie with its small interwoven streets, its lanes winding through vines and its natural expanses along the ocean, are an invitation to relaxation and discovery. Ideas for leisure are boundless: sailing, seaside excursions, bicycle outings (96km of cycle trails bordering the ocean), beach, horseback riding, tennis, golf and more.
