On the north coast of the Île de Ré, La Flotte grew around a harbour that once shipped wine and salt, then served fishermen, and now holds pleasure boats. Low cliffs line the shore, hollyhocks crowd the lanes, and a medieval market draws visitors. Oysters, salt and local beer are the things to taste.
Highlights
- The harbour, once for wine and salt, now a marina
- The medieval market
- The Musée du Platin, on the island's history and seafaring
- Ruins of the Cistercian abbey of Notre-Dame-de-Ré
- Fort La Prée, built in 1625
