The perfect match for a holiday that has it all: Paris & Ile de Ré. After a few days of romance/charm/shopping/clubbing/sight seeing in Paris take a car, train or plane and wash away the city dust in the Atlantic ocean. Romantic for an escape a deux, but also ideal when travelling with kids.
Ile de Ré is a 5 hour drive from Paris and is known for its charm with its ton-sur-ton white washed villages, colorfull flowers, fine sandy beaches, oysters, salt marches, ports, forests and more. It has a warm and sunny micro climate bringing the typical vegetation of the South of France (like olive trees, laurels, figs) to the isle. Therefore it's so special and popular with famous and arty Parisians; so close to the mainland, but a complete different atmosphere. For more info on the island check: http://www.iledere.com/
Ile de Ré has 10 different villages. When going there you will definitively not miss Saint-Martin de Ré, the main village and world heritage site of Unesco. It has lovely terraces overlooking the port where you can enjoy a plate of oysters or the catch of the day. A great place to stay is La Maison Douce. A absolute recommendation, as the charm, the colors, the lovely interior, the garden, the friendliness of the owners of La Maison Douce represent 100% the Ile the Ré way of living.
Most memorable of La Maison Douce: the spa/jaccuzzi, the victorian bath tub in your room and breakfast in the sunny garden.
