Ars-en-Ré ('most beautiful villages of France') is on the Ile-de-Ré, an island off the western coast of France, in Poitou Charentes

Tourist Information and places to visit

Ars-en-Ré is a small port town on the north-west coast of Ile-de-Ré, towards the north-west of the island.

It is well known for its hollyhock lined streets and surrounding salt pans, that have been in use for the last 800 years.

central square in Ars-en-Ré

A small village, there are numerous whitewashed houses with the traditional green shutters of the region, around an attractive open central square. The church, with its trademark spire, acts as the focal point of the village.

Be sure to amble around the backstreets a little to get a better feeling for the 'traditional' village. There are various interesting gardens and architectural features to be seen as you explore.

The church spire served a double function - because of the location of the town it acted as a guide to boats entering the region, hence its black and white painting.

Ars-en-Ré also has a small port.
