Sortie rapide à vélo de Le Bois Plage à La Flotte

Set off from Le Bois-Plage-en-Ré, a lively village known for its daily summer markets and gorgeous sandy beaches—you’ll feel the relaxed Île de Ré vibe as soon as you pedal out. This easy 6.4 km ride to La Flotte takes you along mostly dedicated cycleways and quiet roads, so it’s perfect for a stress-free, scenic trip even in peak season.

The route is flat and friendly, winding past pine forests, salt marshes, and vineyards. With mostly paved or asphalt surfaces, it’s smooth sailing, though you’ll pass a couple of rustic gravel stretches that add character without much challenge. You barely notice the small hills (with a modest 8 meters ascent!), so it suits every level of cyclist.

Arriving in La Flotte, you’ll love exploring one of France’s “most beautiful villages.” Park your bike to wander the harbor, visit the medieval market, or just grab an ice cream by the sea. It’s all about taking it slow—exactly how cycling on Île de Ré should feel.
