The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Large free parking at the foot of the Île de Ré bridge. Excellent access for cyclists and pedestrians to the island (free shuttle available). Toilets and bins provided. 2.20 m height barrier restricts standard motorhomes. Atmosphere highly variable: peaceful off-season or rear zones, very noisy daytime and near road/airport areas. Ideal for short stops, less suitable for overnight in peak season.
Highlights
- Perfect for cycling or walking to Île de Ré
- Large parking lot with many available spaces

Good to know
- Barrier at 2.20m: inaccessible for large motorhomes
- Very noisy during the day and night (road, airport, traffic)
- Some find the atmosphere sketchy or unsafe
Motorhome access : Difficult access: 2.2 m barrier blocks standard motorhomes. Easy maneuvering on large concrete parking at the rear, but busy front area
