Nature campsite in the Dordogne, Eco-tourism!

At our nature campsite in the Dordogne, we are gradually implementing environmental initiatives to limit the impact on our exceptional and fragile nature as much as possible. In accordance with our values, we wish to participate in a sustainable, convivial and nature-friendly tourism.

This commitment to eco-tourism was confirmed in 2020 when we were awarded the Green Key label with the congratulations of the jury. For 2024, we have decided not to renew this commitment, which we feel offers no added environmental value, and which is also costly. We therefore prefer to adopt a local action plan and invest the cost of this certification directly in our actions on site, and avoid all the Greenwashing that surrounds us….

Already today, our commitment is translated into concrete actions:

Decrease of pollution:

  • Selective sorting of recyclable waste and our guests’ incentives to do so
  • Recovery of fruit and vegetable peels for animals
  • Recovery of used batteries
  • Installation of automatic dosers for the treatment of the pool water, which reduces the consumption of chlorine

Reduction of energy and water consumption:

  • Low consumption bulbs
  • Installation of water saver on faucet (jet breeze) and timed faucet
  • Photovoltaic installation with a power of 9 KwC

Preservation of biodiversity:

  • Manual and thermal weeding only if necessary (maintenance of paths and trees in common areas) zero pesticide
  • Preservation of biodiversity areas by having a very planted site with tree species, shrubs, flowers and very diversified plants
  • Commitment to the “Bird Protection League” by creating shelters (nest boxes, insect hut, shelters for small mammals) for the animals of our countryside

The Offrerie: Camping Quality from our first season in 2014!

A visit to the blind allows to control the 665 criteria justifying the quality of the campsite, before being approved Camping Quality but also throughout its commitment.
