Secret Spots of Île de Ré - Travel Guide NEAR & YONDER
This tiny Atlantic island off the coast of western France is known for its chic vibe and A-list visitors, but it still remains blissfully unspoilt.
It may be connected to the mainland city of La Rochelle by bridge, but Île de Ré feels a world away from the hustle and bustle. Spanning just 30 km and only 5 km wide at its broadest point, it is covered with salt marshes where herons can often be spotted soaring overhead and fringed by wave-washed beaches backed by sweeping dunes. Its string of small villages is linked by cycle paths and bikes are the preferred way to get around.
Each village has its own character – Saint Martin is the largest, with a boutique-lined port, while little Ars-en-Ré is the sleepiest – but all are scattered with quaint, whitewashed buildings sporting green shutters and terracotta roofs. The island’s beauty isn’t the only appeal, though, and food is another major draw: there are chi-chi restaurants and colourful markets aplenty, and the oysters here are said to be some of the best in world.

Chartreuse, Isere, includes St. Hugues Church with Artist Arcabas, French Alps
Chartreuse is a small region about 30 minutes outside of Chambery in Isere. There are several quaint, mountain villages which are worth driving through, but what's even more beautiful is the scenery of the mountains, hills, forests and pastures. It may be the most gorgeous scenery I've seen yet and we frequent the area on our motorbike. The main little town is called St. Pierre du Chartreuse - near the town are the museum and the Abby, which was first settled in the 1100's by a Monk who came to the area for isolation and solitude. The Abby is still occupied by monks who have taken an oath of silence. Visitors are not usually allowed. Their income comes from the liquor they make which is also called 'Chartreuse.' It's quite famous in France and has an herbal taste, but frankly, I don't care for it. But what is fun is taking a tour of where they make it and other liquors in Voiron, which is a 45 minute drive away. The tour includes one tasting of their liquors and some of the fruit flavored ones are excellent. For me however the best place to stop in St. Pierre du Chartreuse is the Saint Hugues Church. It is filled with contemporary religious art by Arcabas and is glorious to see. Most French people in Chambery don't even know about the church so this is truly a wonderful secret to discover.
