ILE DE RE, FRANCE : A holiday on the Ile de Ré, a narrow, sun-bleached island connected to the west coast of France by a long road bridge, feels like a return to a less hurried, more innocent age. It’s an island of sand dunes and sunflowers, pine forests and poppy fields, vineyards and fishing villages, all connected by 60 miles of cycle paths. Just about everyone on the island gets around by bike, with smaller children pulled along in two-wheeled trailers. After long days paddling in the sea and building sandcastles, you can pedal to one of many friendly harbourside cafes and scoff platefuls of fresh oysters and mussels.
