Uniquely situated at the entrance of the harbour, the guardhouse is set back from the hustle and bustle of the city. Sweetness of life prevails indoors and outdoors.

It took seven years of intensive work to revive this ancient seventeenth-century guardhouse.
.Babeth cashed in on her numerous talents and put all her energy into this project. The result is in line with her ambitions. We can but admire her.
Staying in this guesthouse with its many assets, particularly the exceptional port and sea view, will be engraved on your memory.

Thank you, Babeth, for allowing us to live through these delicious moments .

Owners description

A “must” stop for the lovers of the sea.

 On the ile de Ré in an old guards house (corps de garde) dating back to the XVII century, a calm haven at the entrance of the port ofSaint-Martin de Ré. The spectacular element of the house is water ! Wherever your eyes lay, they will see the ocean. The emerald green of the port, the ocean blue beyond the walls blend together. 


The house’s location will conjure up feelings of being aboard a luxury vessel, one that is anchored in port with a call to set sail from the moment you wake, no schedule to follow, serene atmosphere. This guest house permeates warmth from the living room, renders one calm in its serene rooms, tastefully decorated in a cozy atmosphere. Ideally situated to explore the island of Ré from top to bottom ...the perfect invitation for a voyage, to contemplate, to dream.

"L'oeil du pêcheur"(Eye of the Fisherman)

Knots of sailor’s will form in your eyes as you watch the sailboats dancing in and out of the port of Saint Martin de Re or as the fishermen off-load from their boats their days catch ... those are just some of the privileges you will have from this room full of romance.

Grand Voile (mainsail)

For the lovers of the sea, the bulwark’s on your headboard will have you navigating in your dreams...hoisting of sails as they leave l’ile de Re, embarking upon a voyage at sea... With its 2 windows facing the entrance of the port, you’ll have an endless spectacle to contemplate.

le Phare (the lighthouse)

"The smallest yet the coziest". A mansard roofed love nest with its two ocean facing windows and the glimmer of the lighthouse in the distance.

Océane

The catch phrase of this room could read "to be happy, live lying down". As far as the eye can sea...ocean. A horizon absolutely calm.

Trousse chemise

Drawn from the name of a famous beach on Ile de Re, this is a favorite for those seeking a romantic getaway. A corner room of GARDE DU CORPS, Trousse Chemise has the unique privilege of having the best of both ; two windows facing the port, and one facing the old wall and ocean.
