Cours Vauban, 17410 Saint-Martin-de-Ré, ÎLE DE RÉ, France
During Roman times, Île de Ré was an archipelago consisting of three small islands.
In the seventh and eighth centuries the island, along with Oléron, formed the Vacetae Insulae or Vacetian Islands, according to the Cosmographia. Since Vaceti is another name for the Vascones, this reference is evidence of Basque settlement or control of the islands by that date.
