The best fashion and gift stores Ile de Ré

This soap factory, located in the heart of the Ile de Ré, is easy to get to thanks to its roadside parking. Just step inside and you'll be charmed by the enchanting scents and beautifully decorated store. This is your chance to stock up on beauty products made from donkey's milk. Rich in vitamins and enriched with shea butter, the soaps are sold plain or scented, in solid or liquid form. You'll also find care and massage oils.

Created in 1987, Atelier Quillet puts its craftsmanship in the service of ancient documents. This company is a true national reference for the conservation, restoration and binding of old documents. Everyone can enter freely in the library which offers a nice journey over time with books dating from the xviie and xviiith, maps of the island of Ré and all the world.

Like the fleur de sel, soap is one of the emblematic products of the island of Ré. During the visit of the Baleines lighthouse, you can easily go to this soap factory. The store is recognizable by its stuffed donkey, but it is inside that you will find all the secrets of soap making. Visit the soap factory every Monday and Tuesday morning (from April to September). You can find the famous organic donkey milk soap.

This is one of the stores that you must visit! It is dedicated to the donkey, this animal that is well known by the people of Rétais and that still walks young and old. While strolling around, you will see a stuffed animal that indicates the entrance of the shop. We appreciate the warm welcome and the perfumes that make you want to buy one of the soaps. The quality is not lacking, it must be said that the family business has been making organic donkey milk soaps for 20 years.

Dogs are not allowed on the beaches of La Grange and Le Martray. They are allowed, kept on a leash, on the other beaches.

Trademarks, full of marks, nothing solely of the mark: Adidas, Nike, Reebok, Puma, Sergio Tacchini, Quicksilver, Lacoste, Timberland, Dorotennis, Lulu Castagnette… at reduced prices. Tee-shirts, sweats, trousers, jeans, shorts and bermudas, sports shirts are offered at very competitive prices, not forgetting shoes, sports for the most. It's really interesting. And if you don't find your size, ask vendors, because everything isn't on the shelves.

In this store, you can come all year round to find an exceptional product that has been produced for 20 years: organic donkey's milk soap. A secret of beauty since antiquity, it is praised for its many virtues: tensing for the skin, moisturizing, rich in vitamins and minerals. It can be found natural, but also scented, in liquid form and used for the hands, face and body. Some cosmetics are also made with donkey milk: body milk, shower gel, after-shave...

This small shop in the beginning of the shopping street, which stops many women… and men, celebrates its tenth anniversary in 2009. The charming and warm Julie has not stopped making progress. Today, she offers her clients a very nice selection of lingerie, articles signed Serenade, Lise Charmel, Antifreeze, Marie-Jo Prima Dona, Princess Tam Tam… The adjacent shop is also Julie. There are a lot of bain to the well-loved brands like Princess Tam Tam - yes, but it's the island's only point of sale! -, Eight, Ltd, Bread de Sucre, Hermès, Kiwi Saint-Tropez, Jeanne Robin, Vilbrequin… If you arrive in winter, to have an irresistible craving for a bathing suit and to find closed door, a mètre and a toquez to lingerie lingerie, Julie has the keys and it is very willingly that she will open you.

In three generations, the Chauffour garage has made a strong reputation on the island. By car, he is a Peugeot agent but he repairs all the marks, except electronics. It's a good job, clean and clean and that respects the estimates. Notice to the premises (if they don't already know it, which is unlikely) and to tourists broken by bicycle (because all tourists drive by bicycle), here you repair your mount and you benefit from the network of five garages on the island of Ré in the event of a breakdown. The garage also offers MBK brand bikes for rent.

But what does a embroidery do in this section? No errors, you can do your digital prints there. While Sandra is all occupied by his cross, Olivier, his partner in both work and private, handles your memory cards. So do not hesitate to give him job, he asks for that.

The island of Ré lends itself to strolling, offering an alternation of landscapes between beaches and vineyards. In the heart of the villages with white houses, small stores are hidden, highlighting local products. This is the case of this soap factory, a family business that has been making organic donkey milk soaps and cosmetics for 20 years. The welcome is pleasant, the advice interesting allowing to find the product of his choice among a very wide range of soaps.

The store is first specialized in the bicycle. Here you can rent 1 day a "classic" bicycle (mountain bike or city bike) for 7,45 e, a "comfort" bike (mountain, vtc, Dutch bike…) for 9,60 th or, but there is really a stalled (or feel like having fun) a "prestige bike" (sleeping bike…) for 19,40 e. Good to know: The electric bicycle is also available in this last range, which balaie the problems of inclinations. Kitesurfeurs are also mollycoddled, they buy in this house the material of freedom: kites, accessories and traction wings, accessories to practice buggy, mountain-board or snowkite. But freedom has a price, that of marks: Naish, F-one, Peter Lynn, Windtools, Surfactory, Gath, etc.

Loix has a particular link with the one that is still called the white gold. If you wish to flavour your dishes with fleur de sel, you can go to this store which works only with salt from the island of Ré. Several stores are located in the villages of Ré, including the one in Ars, which manufactures salt-based food products and cosmetics based on sau-fine (concentrated seawater enriched and harvested in the summer in the salt marshes): scrubs, anti-wrinkle creams... The products are available for sale online.

This store is easily accessible, being located near the sea and the viaduct. When you enter, you will enjoy a pleasant welcome from a staff that knows the products. Do not hesitate to ask for advice. You will find clothes and shoes of big brands (for all the family) - Saint-James, Armor-Lux, Mât de Misaine... -, specially designed for the sea. Fishermen, both professionals and amateurs, know this address well.

In a small area that is modern, by its garden and the music of atmosphere, you find many different brands, but every time in a few copies. Here we prefer choice and not quantity. So American Retro, Melting Pot, Sissi Holleis, Bash… but mostly Cheyenne share the Rays. A single word of order brings them together: colour! Indeed, everything is very colourful, some lines are modern when others claim a retro side. It's really beautiful, feminine, original, but it's not given. For a small summer dress count 100 th and 50 th for a tiny longshoreman…

Multiple Services, Skills, and Quality: These are the terms that suit this shop. And since Edouard Married took over in June 2009, the shop has good vibrations. Qualified staff offer a good and welcoming service. Moreover, the number of staff has been increased so that the wait will not be longer. Advice is appropriate for customer demand. And especially the choice of operators is complete (Orange, Sfr, Bouygues…). Then the boss has a curriculum vitae that leaves no doubt about his knowledge of telephony. Thus, the choice of telephones and accessories is very wide. As for the presentation of new features such as the iphone or the smartphone, it is not. Much more than a telephone service with a highly developed product range, the shop also displays computer models. And the team's ambition doesn't stop there. Technicians move home for all repairs (or you can bring your computer in stores). No panic if a bug occurs! Here we have the sense of service. And the shop, almost unique on the island of Ré, has nothing to envy the big cities!

As the slogan indicates, Saint James is «born of the sea». Among the classics of the port of St. Martin, there is this vending shop of clothing and accessories Saint James. There are scratches and tricots in the great tradition, but we also discover 2 collections a year: sweaters, jackets, shirts and shirts, shirts, waterproof shirts, duffle, scarves and cups, for men and women. The caption article: The "Naval" is the are snow striped striped blue, e-xac-vous that worn by the National Navy… The number of scratches near!

2017 is the time of change for this store which is always placed at the top of a venelle from the port. Mr. and Mrs. Petit left but the store couldn't shut up! Florence decided to resume it and to pursue the same unique concept: offer both design and contemporary objects all for budgets and in all fields (watchmaking, art of the table, decoration…) and always some sweets side groceries with the Brothers Wedding teas.

If the village of Saint-Martin continues to attract many eager visitors to discover the harbor enclosed in the fortifications, many also overlook the venelle that rises to church. That's where this art gallery is. Since 2002, the place is a true well well that attracts art specialties but also tourists and local tourists who have admired many artists: sculptors, plasticians, furniture maker. Today, the gallery exposes his heart to nomadic exhibitions.

How to stay on the Island without reporting a souvenir? Lighthouses, boats, shells, rollers, photo frames, crockery… in blue and white necessarily. And, for the récalcitrants, there are also chic box pens, class lighters and porte, reduced bike models, beautiful books…
