Saint-Martin-de-Ré, Fortified commune on Île de Ré, France
The commune extends over 14.7 square kilometers with stone ramparts encircling the town center and a harbor filled with boats at the northern coast.
The town's defensive structures, designed by engineer Vauban between 1681 and 1685, received UNESCO World Heritage recognition for their military architecture in 2008.
The harbor area contains numerous restaurants serving regional seafood specialties, while local markets display products from Île de Ré's traditional producers.
The commune offers extensive bicycle paths connecting to other island destinations, with rental services available throughout the central district.
From 1873 to 1938, the local prison facility processed convicts before their transfer to penal colonies in French Guiana and New Caledonia.
