Anything To Watch Out For?
The nearest road is 300m away throuhg the forest - some background road noise can be heard. We feel the many pluses of this house more than make up for it and, if music is on and/or children are playing in the pool, you would hardly notice.
Why Ile de Ré?
The Ile de Ré is a chic and upmarket island just off the French mainland by La Rochelle, known for its pretty villages, gorgeous harbours, fabulous beaches and a lovely climate. Cycle trails connect all corners of the island through forests and salt marshes, two wheels is the way to explore. There is a huge choice of restaurants, boutiques & markets, plus plenty for the more active including sailing, paddle-boarding and surfing.
