I am forever looking up holidays to anywhere with sunshine, heritage and pretty buildings. Below are some photos from Ile de Re one of my favourite places to visit.

If you read my blog and follow me on Instagram, you will notice that I love nothing more than escaping the hustle and bustle and spending time exploring the countryside. On my last visit to France in the Autumn time, I visited this Nature Reserve with lots of salt marshes abundant with wildlife. There are walking/cycling paths winding their way through the marshes and the air feels so fresh. I would love to visit in the Summer time when the skies are blue but they may be more visitors around them...

I promised I'd  post some more photographs from my trip to Ile de Re. If you have never visited you will have to put it on your travel list. It is a truly beautiful place-tres chic! I visited along with my mother in October 2016. It is a real hidden gem and it felt like we had the place to ourselves for the week. The architecture is stunning and the many small villages are very charming...
