You've been reading too many of Henry's (Rupert123) posts. Great place for chilling out, walking, cycling, eating seafood, drinking good wine and generally relaxing. a great end wind-down to a long break. No good if you like mountains, blocks of flats, raging torrents, motorways and the like. Indeed...but while you were embracing Joie de vivre, H probably eating his oven chips :-D . Very laid back and some really nice beaches. mind you avoid St Martin on a summer day as it gets very busy. We have had some good summer holidays there and the safe cycling routes through the towns lovely.....I remember this subject before and the usual old jaded prejudices pop up time and time again. SS so funny.... he turned around here, and did exactly the same at Mont saint Michel shortly after....what an astonishing skin flint! :D Still embracing it, Eddie (metaphorically) from Somerset. The bread, pate, cheese, fruit and veg orders are going through the roof!..................................oh, and the vino! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolandrat Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 The traffic situation can be like Blackpool Illuminations at times with horrendous queues forming to get off the island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(lol) Its not much good if you like scenery of any kind, it has none worth looking at. I would agree if you like flat all the same cycle tracks, good if your main idea of a decent place involves sitting on second rate beaches, as for good walking, where, it is, as I said one of the most boring places in France, probably the world. As for drinking good wine, you can do that all over Europe, still on the Ill de Re you can at least get drunk to forget the boredom of it all.
