Gourmet products local specialties and wines Le Bois-Plage-En-Ré

When you're on the Ile de Ré, you're sure to enjoy the fine sandy beaches. But another reason why the area attracts so many tourists is its culinary delights. Sitting on a restaurant terrace, you're sure to enjoy some oysters! If you're in the mood for a picnic, a visit to the market is a must. Well-known to locals and tourists alike, it's always well-stocked with fresh seasonal produce.

The island of Ré is a land of flavors, known as much for its salt flower, its oysters and its vineyard. An ancestral activity, the culture of the vineyard benefits on the island from a temperate climate and an important sunshine. To learn more about the wines, you can visit this cooperative, open all year round, which offers a guided tour of the distillery, the cellars before tasting wines and pineaux. Two walks are organized to discover the vineyard: by bike (not provided) or on horseback (during 1h30).

Jam lovers, here is a place not to be missed during your visit to the island of Ré. The green frontage hardly leaves any doubt, the jars highlight all the local produce of Ré. When you enter, you will enjoy a warm welcome and be seduced by the atmosphere of the place. The jams are just like this store, resolutely delicious, and to be convinced, you just have to taste... nearly 70 flavors! You may be a little lost but each jar promises many moments of pleasure like the three citrus fruits or the strawberry.
