This gorgeous picture postcard of the pastoral French way of life is on show throughout the Ile de Ré, but perhaps never better exemplified than in the emblematic village of Ars-en-Ré. This quaint fishing village with the distinctive black and white church spire and pretty harbour teeming with rows of gently bobbing fishing boats is found on the south-west of the island, and offers everything you could desire from your island holiday on the Atlantic coast.
Bike paths cut through the town and into the gentle surrounding countryside, perfect for taking in the splendid salt marshes, ruins of old windmills and nature reserve at your own leisurely pace, while little shops, seafood restaurants and artisanal market stalls where the scent of freshly made breads and pastries wafts past from the nearby bakeries bring the village enough bustle to entertain visitors and friendly locals alike.
