Île de Ré: A way of life
Nestled between the ocean and the villages of Île de Ré, the island offers a unique way of life. Soft light, bike paths lined with vineyards, lively markets, and endless beaches come together to create the perfect setting for letting go.
In the heart of Bois-Plage-en-Ré, just a stone’s throw from the market and the ocean, the house blends seamlessly into this gentle rhythm, inviting you to slow down and savor every moment to the fullest.

Our guests loved their stay
We spent a magical week at de l’Art et des Vivres. Véronique and Lionel are simply brilliant. They’re incredibly welcoming, kind and passionate about all things beautiful – as reflected in the superb breakfasts and dinner service. We highly recommend this lovely place, which ticks all the boxes for a perfect stay on the Île de Ré! Read more Collapse
We’ll be telling all of our friends to come here. Véronique and Lionel are truly lovely people. They’ve created a wonderful sanctuary by beautifully renovating an old villa into somewhere you want to linger. They are friendly, kind, helpful, generous and as two ex-chefs, make the most incredible food. We are well travelled and the breakfast was one of the best hotel breakfasts we’ve ever had. Make sure you eat dinner with them too, you’re in for an absolute treat. Read more Collapse

Thank you to Véronique and Lionel for their warm welcome 🙏 And well done on your cooking skills: the breakfasts and dinner were something we won’t forget in a hurry. We can’t wait to come back, especially for your next cookery workshops ❤️ Read more Collapse
