Visit the UNESCO-listed fortifications built between 1681 and 1685 in Saint-Martin-de-Ré, the island's historic capital

Historical capital of the island of Ré, Saint-Martin-de-Ré is as well known for its flowered alleys as for its harbor enclosed in the fortifications which surprise by their dimensions, 14 km of ramparts. Built between 1681 and 1685, they are based on a vast citadel which was transformed into a prison in the 19th century and which was until 1938 the place of departure of prisoners to the penal colony. The citadel is classified as a Unesco World Heritage Site in the Network of Major Vauban Sites. From the top of the ramparts, you can contemplate the ocean and beyond the bell tower of Ars.

Très bel endroit. On peut faire une promenade avec vue sur la mer mais aussi passer au milieu des fortifications, grâce à des escaliers.

Très belles fortifications qui donnent l'occasion d'une très belle balade face à l'océan. Du port , longer les remparts vers l'est. Vous passerez devant le fort puis vous passerez une petite passerelle puis arriverez à une superbe petite plage.
