Gourmet products local specialties and wines Ars-En-Ré

Bertrand Héraudeau has been running this family business for a short time. Trained as a pastry chef, he never ceases to put his qualities forward to the point of obtaining, in 2018, the title of best jam maker in France. Rétais and tourists are not mistaken, they are many to make a stop in this shop located two steps from the bell tower. Each product is carefully made, without chemicals or preservatives. The quality is such that each year several are awarded.

If you come to Ars, don't miss the church and its typical bell tower. But from Carnot Square, head to this small boutique with many treasures. Held by Cyril, she brings together everything that is best on the island of Ré. You will find in particular the flower of salt, many preserved, like the speck of etrilles and the confit of pinwater, the beers of Ré, always as natural, the renowned jams of the Clocher and so many other products! If you don't have time to get there, don't worry! Products are available on the website in just a few clicks.

In 1933, the sauniers of the Ile de Ré formed a syndicate, and in 1942 a cooperative, to revive the saunière economy. Professionals decided to share their equipment, know-how and production to sell salt at a fair price. This initiative has enabled the restoration of abandoned marshes and the training of new salt workers, who you can meet at the hut. The Sauniers open their doors to you, from April to September, to taste these flavors!

For more than 30 years, L'Huîtrière de Ré has been the ideal place for all those who want to buy oysters. The shop features local and regional products such as salt of course: coarse, flower and flavoured, the inevitable pineau and wine and of course its oysters according to the seasons. We advise you to buy the special oysters - they are simply amazing! For the last three years, you can buy these famous shellfish at any time of the day thanks to the oyster dispenser, the first one to be installed on the island.
