The Île de Ré preserves a diverse architectural history, ranging from 12th-century Cistercian ruins to 20th-century coastal defenses. This collection features the UNESCO-listed fortifications of Saint-Martin-de-Ré, designed by Vauban in the 17th century, and the distinctive black-and-white spire of Ars-en-Ré. Visitors can explore the island’s military evolution through the 1625 Fort de La Prée and World War II bunkers, alongside historic religious sites like the Abbaye des Châteliers and the fortified church of Saint-Martin.
