Île de Ré: what to do in Ars-en-Ré?
Ars-en-Ré is the result of both nature and man. In fact, Ars was originally an island, close to the islands of Ré and Loix. But little by little, this archipelago was able to form a single island, giving Ars-en-Ré the opportunity to become a village in the heart of the Ile de Ré.
In particular, you can enjoy the splendor of its small trading port, which for many years was a key place for transporting salt to the mainland. Today, it's a popular tourist destination that reveals all its beauty.
It's impossible not to discover the splendid bell tower overlooking this bright village, and take a stroll through its narrow streets. And on a daily basis, the market welcomes you to sample the local produce.
Finally, don't forget to finish your visit with a visit to the Cabane du Fier; Christophe FRIGIERE does his utmost to prepare market and seafood dishes, grilled over a wood fire in a bistro atmosphere, with a slate that changes according to the whims of the sea and new arrivals...
