Perfect accommodation (functional, spacious, comfortable bedding...) We appreciated the quietness of the campsite. Accustomed in previous years to the high quality of the children's activities, we were disappointed this year: lack of punctuality, lack of respect for schedules and poorly prepared activities. Not much on offer for teenagers, lack of aquatic activities...). As for the swimming pool, we were disappointed to see that the straw huts were in poor condition and useless.... and that there was a cruel lack of shade. Finally, we regretted that, in the evening, as in previous years, there were no catering options (mussels, paella, chicken, etc.).

Pleasant stay, well-located cottage. Swimming pool ideal for children. Restaurant prices a little high and air conditioning is lacking, especially in hot weather.

Beautiful site with family-friendly features. Privacy is reduced because the units are so close together. I caught a family getting into their car while I was opening my window, naked as a worm, coming out of my shower a few steps away from them. It was hot, and more mosquito netting would have been necessary, as there are a lot of insects. The only mosquito net in the children's bedroom wasn't enough. The dishwasher was loaded with hard water and left a residue, making it a nuisance in fact, so to be avoided. The units were beautiful, clean, well appointed and fairly well equipped. The availability of washing machines was appreciated. More umbrellas could have been provided around the pools. Registration for children's activities should be possible via the app. Very friendly and welcoming staff. We look forward to returning.

First vacation at Slow Village Marennes Oléron and we're delighted. We stayed for a week with our grandson, who really enjoyed the mini-farm, swimming pool and games. The floral setting is very pretty, and the bar/restaurant by the pool offers a zen-like atmosphere, perfect for relaxation. We ate there several times and the food was excellent. The staff were always very welcoming, charming and considerate throughout our stay, so a big thank you to them.

Lilleau des Niges nature reserve

The Ile de Ré is located on a major bird migration route between Africa and the Arctic. Its natural areas are therefore particularly valuable, as they are likely to be home to a large number of bird species. At the tip of the island, in the heart of the Fier d'Ars marshes and mudflats, the Lilleau des Niges reserve was created in 1980 with the aim of preserving this biodiversity.
