We still have a few spots available to enjoy the mild weather of late summer.

September on Île de Ré: a different way to experience the season
As the summer vacation season winds down, Île de Ré rediscovers what truly matters: its tranquility, its unobstructed views, and its golden light. The wild beaches in the north of the island stretch as far as the eye can see, the trails winding through pine trees and dunes become accessible once again without the crowds, and the villages return to their authentic rhythm.
In Saint-Clément-des-Baleines, time seems to stand still. The Atlantic Ocean still retains the warmth of the summer days, temperatures remain pleasant, and the sunsets behind the Phare des Baleines take on an intensity that summer doesn’t always offer. It is this special atmosphere—a blend of the light of early autumn and the refreshing sea air—that we love to share with vacationers who choose to visit in the late season.

Île de Ré in September: nature, cycling, and the open sea
From the campground, everything is within easy reach by bike or on foot. The Phare des Baleines lighthouse is just a few minutes’ bike ride away—a must-see, especially in the off-season when the crowds have thinned out. The island’s bike paths form a dense, well-marked network that takes you to the village of Saint-Martin-de-Ré, to the salt marshes, or along the beaches of the wild Atlantic coast.
When it comes to nature, the protected natural areas in the north of the island are particularly beautiful in the late season: the dunes, the pine forest, and the wetlands. Wildlife enthusiasts and photographers will appreciate the late-afternoon light that bathes the landscapes of Charente-Maritime in a golden glow. At low tide, the foreshore reveals its treasures, and children explore the rocks with curiosity.
