The foreshore is a large area appearing when the tide is out. It is the paradise for those fishing...
Peculiar to Île de Ré: it has numerous fish locks.

The foreshore is a truly nature reserve! Fishing enthusiasts should not fish close to oyster parks, on walls and in locks (minimum sizes: clam 3.5cm, scallop 3.5cm, cockle 3cm, venus clam 4cm, mussel 4cm, oyster 6cm.).

"There are so many beauties and riches in this natural space... We must above all respect it… Fish, seafood and shellfish are born here. So, we shouldn’t turn over stones."
