Our eco-responsible commitments<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Reinforced selective sorting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our campsite in the Ain region<\/a> is equipped with garbage cans for everyday waste – that’s the least we can do.\nBut since the 2021 season, we have installed bins for selective sorting<\/strong> directly at the campsite exit :<\/strong> a bin reserved for glass<\/strong>, skips for sorting and garbage cans for household waste.\nSince 2024, sorting methods have changed throughout the department.\nThe bin for plastics and cardboard now also accepts all food packaging<\/strong> and empty yoghurt pots, as well as all paper and cardboard<\/strong> – and that’s even better!\nCoupled with the compost circuit, the volume of our personal household waste has been divided by 2 (or even 3). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So why not do the same, even on vacation?\nLet’s keep up the pace together.\nLess waste, better sorted – that’s good news for the planet. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section>

Mulching<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mulching<\/strong> is the process of cutting grass into small pieces and leaving them in place.\nIt’s both economical and ecological!\nIn fact, this method of mowing saves an enormous amount of time (no need to go back and forth to empty the cut grass, no turbine to suck it up and no high-powered, energy-hungry mower)… so less gas is consumed and released!\nWhat’s more, the shredded grass becomes green fertilizer for the soil. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Compost<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Since the 2021 season, we’ve been building and providing a compost bin<\/strong> in the heart of the grounds.\nAnd it’s very greedy! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He particularly likes to get rid of all your vegetable and fruit peelings, leftovers from your meals, flowers that you’ve carefully picked from the meadows and which have since wilted, but also your tea bags and leaves, coffee grounds with the filter, paper tissues… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On top of that, it’s good for nature’s cycle, feeding the earth<\/strong> and all sorts of useful little creatures!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Pruning and shredding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Our campsite is well planted with trees<\/strong>, and you’ll love the natural shade provided by the different species of our large trees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But trees need upkeep.\nSo every year, in addition to the minor maintenance pruning that your boss can do, a professional tree trimmer comes and spots the worst branches and uses the chainsaw to eliminate dead wood that has become dangerous. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that, the larger branches are the delight of those who heat their homes with wood in winter.\nEverything else is shredded on site, producing a superb mixture of bark and small pieces that we use to cover planters and groves, preventing weeds from growing and limiting watering by conserving moisture! <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Lighting and the Milky Way<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Little by little, we are renewing or installing low-energy lighting.\nLED technology is taking over in most of our rental properties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main street lamps in the living areas go out at 10pm, so you can drift off to sleep or simply look up and lose yourself in the myriad stars that cover the summer nights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, there’s no visual pollution at night and, on a clear day, the sky is magnificent.\nThat’s the advantage of being in the countryside.\nBut don’t forget to look where you’re stepping, as you might come across an adventurous hedgehog or a teasing doe. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
