Île de Ré is the cool big sister of Noirmoutier dressed in nautical chic.
Just a bit further south down the coast, and connected by bridge to La Rochelle, it attracts hipster Parisians and posh families (as well a few celebs) who come for the freshest of seafood, the simple life, the easy cycling, and the vast vistas.
Beyond its renowned architectural marvels and gastronomic delights, Italy's flower fields, gardens, and villas stand as testament to the country's deep-rooted love affair with botany and landscape design. From the rolling hills of Tuscany awash with the hues of wildflowers to the meticulously curated gardens of historic villas, Italy’s floral heritage invites exploration and admiration.
