Forest

During the Iron Age, the forest covered nearly the whole island

 And today it is here again

Over 400 hectares managed by the Office National des Forêts!

It is a feast for walkers, and riders, eyes.

Thanks to the superb climate numerous Mediterranean species wonderfully develop. In the nice forest of Trousse-Chemise and elsewhere.

"Our forest‏ What an extraordinary heritage! It's so important, On Ré, it limits soil erosion due to wind and contributes to the protection of sand dunes."
