Activities in Ars-en-Ré

Ars-en-Ré, an iconic village in the north of Île de Ré, is the perfect destination for enjoying a wide range of activities, from heritage and nature to water sports and rejuvenating breaks. Whether you enjoy cycling, bird watching in the salt marshes, or thrill-seeking activities at sea (kayaking, paddleboarding, sailing), Ars-en-Ré invites you to explore its must-see attractions: Saint-Étienne Church, the salt workers’ cooperative, the Boutillon dyke, and the harbor promenade.

On sunny days, enjoy the coast, beaches, and marshes bathed in light, while quieter days offer guided tours, nature workshops, and cultural discoveries.

Plan your stay by choosing from our activities in Ars-en-Ré for the whole family to fully experience the island’s charm.
