We decided to spend the last three days of our stay in the busier St Martin de Ré, capital of the Ile de Ré, and it was a stark contrast to the tranquility of St Clément des baleines, but still a lovely and charming place…

For our last night on that side of the island, we opted for an early evening cycle back to the hotel, via the lighthouse (Phare des baleines) on a dusky and cloudy end of day…

Following a rainy day we decided to try and cycle through the marshes between St Clément des baleines and Les Portes-en-Ré, again… the wildlife was amazing!

Cycling back from La Couarde-en-Ré to Ars-en-ré amongst the salty marshes and its wildlife was a fantastic experience. The fields of samphire (salicorne) were turning red making the landscape very flamboyant!

This lighthouse and its staircase was one of the main reasons I wanted to visited Ile de Ré… Judge by yourself.

And if you were wondering, yes, this is that day that I soaked my prized Nikon D3 and 24-70mm f2.8 lens, courtesy of a freak wave! Picture shot a few seconds later by my fiancée!

Sunday away to Cley windmill, in this glorious weather, and a walk to Cley beach, one mile away… and back. We stayed in the Miller room.

After a long drive to the Champagne region, to collect the champagne for our wedding, we stopped by in Noyelles/mer on the way back to Calais, to stay the night at the lovely Chateau de Noyelles. Great place, and great reception. We recommend you stay there for dinner, but confirm before 3pm (via @Hipstamatic).
