Located on the northern coast of Île de Ré, facing the Pertuis Breton, the village of Saint-Martin-de-Ré is famous for its fortifications built by Vauban, which are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Another must-see is the bell tower observatory, which offers a unique panoramic view of the fortified town and Île de Ré.
By turns a land of privilege and independence, of passage and exchange, the fortified village has a remarkable history.
Choosing Saint-Martin-de-Ré means settling in the historic heart of the island. With its World Heritage status, vibrant commercial life, and scarce real estate, the town remains one of the most sought-after locations in the region.
