Sustainability and solidarity

Towards responsible tourism

On the Ile de Ré, nature is more than just a backdrop: it’s a precious resource that must be preserved. As a fragile island territory, the island has for several years been committed to a sustainable and mutually supportive approach, supported by local authorities, residents, economic players and visitors themselves.

This page highlights local initiatives to promote more responsible tourism that respects the environment and local people. Through these actions, the island is asserting its desire to combine tourist appeal with the preservation of its natural, cultural and human heritage.

Working together for responsible tourism

Everyone can play their part in this collective commitment: favouring short circuits, limiting waste, choosing accredited accommodation or adopting environmentally-friendly modes of transport.

When you visit the island of Ré, you become a player in its preservation. Together, we can make tourism more sustainable, more humane and more supportive, serving a region that harmoniously combines nature, culture and authenticity.
