It was raining when we crossed the bridge from la Rochelle to the island, so we only took a quick coffee in the village Saint Martin de Ré before we got installed at the hotel La Marée. Perfect hotel with very nice welcome and attentive personnel. Perfect also for us with children - and I would really like to come back and have a look at that pool area in summer.... The hotel is joined by the Restaurant Le M that has been approved by critics (Michelin and Gault Millau 2010) - and us!
Sunday the weather was a little better, but it didn't really matter. We had time together in a cosy place, that was really what mattered the most...
Ile de Ré is known for its oysters, so it was an obvious choice for those who love oysters!

The children were more than happy to go outside for a walk Sunday morning....
.... because Jack, a beautiful Jack Russel puppy of five months, needed a walk!!!
The girls examine the beach...
... so many things to explore!
We had Sunday lunch in the little old harbour in la Rochelle. A lovely little city.
Some more seafood and then time to say goodbye and start planning another family reunion....
