It\u2019s the most touristy and most accessible island in Charentes, with just a bridge separating it from La Rochelle. Known as \u201cl'Ile Blanche\u201d (White Island) for the characteristic colour of its traditional abodes, the Ile de R\u00e9 boasts a natural environment and a lifestyle based on elegant simplicity. <\/strong>It\u2019s easy to get around by bike here with 140km\u00a0(almost 90\u00a0miles) of cycle paths, the ideal mode of transport for picnics on the long beaches lined by sand dunes or to head out for a drink on the port of Ars or Saint Martin. <\/strong>Chic boutiques, art galleries and seafood restaurants all add to its appeal as a top holiday resort where visitors can recharge their batteries in the island\u2019s unique atmosphere.<\/p>\n

The real estate market<\/h2>\n

Running from Rivedoux to Les Portes via Saint Martin, La Flotte, Le Bois and Ars, ten villages span the 25-kilometre long (15-mile) island. Depending on the type and location of the property, prices have risen by 20 to 50% in the past five years.\u00a0Prices per square metre range from \u20ac5,000 to \u20ac7,000 for an apartment, and from \u20ac6,000 to \u20ac12,000 for a house, peaking at \u20ac15,000 to \u20ac18,000 for exceptional properties.<\/strong> Land, meanwhile, goes for \u20ac800 to \u20ac1,600 per square metre. Villas with a swimming pool and garden, close to the beaches and shops, are naturally the most coveted.<\/p>\n
