Ile de Re has many cycle tracks … they seem to have been converted from the old narrow roads once the new roads came in, but I could be wrong. They link the different villages, taking cyclists through bays, salt pans, vineyards etc.
Today we cycled to St Martin, which was about 9km from our “home”. We seemed to be slower and younger than most of the French mainlanders. There were some people on tandems and other with their dogs (either in a front-mounted basket or a trailer). Yes, the French do love their dogs.
