Our campsite’s environmental commitments in the Vosges

A strong commitment to environmental policy

• As an LPO Refuge-certified establishment since April 2024, we are committed to protecting and respecting the environment through an environmental charter which you can find here.

• We place great importance on training our staff, particularly in waste sorting management, through sessions organised in partnership with SMICTOM, so that they can become ambassadors for waste sorting who are able to advise you.

• Our clothing featuring the Flower logo is produced in collaboration with a supplier that offers cotton garments made from organically converted cotton, in accordance with environmental standards.

Raising awareness among our holidaymakers

• We encourage our guests to join our eco-friendly initiativeby displaying reminders in communal areas, particularly the toilets, and by including a section dedicated to simple eco-friendly actions in our welcome booklet.

• We promote the fight against waste by giving items a new lease of life through our mini-recycling centre. Furthermore, in an effort to reduce paper waste, we offer reuse solutions for books and tourist brochures, thereby putting them back into circulation.

• As part of our commitment to protecting the environment, our campsite organises educational activities designed to help guests discover the region’s rich flora and fauna, in partnership with the LPO and the Maison de la Terre.

Energy management

• In order to reduce our environmental footprint, we have decided to replace the campsite’s traditional lighting with LED solutions and systems powered by solar energy.

• We generate some of our energy using solar thermal panels for our sanitary facilities, helping to reduce our environmental footprint.

• We deliberately limit night-time lighting around our campsite in the Vosges so as not to disrupt the natural rhythms of the species living nearby.

Water conservation

• Our campsite has recently installed a rainwater harvesting system. This new system provides a water supply, whether for watering plants or managing water resources.

• We have introduced seasonal watering schedules. This initiative enables us to maintain the vibrant greenery of our plants whilst ensuring the controlled use of our water supplies.

• Sustainable water management involves, in particular, monitoring the amount of water used in the sanitary facilities and in our holiday rentals. That is why we have installed water-saving systems to regulate water usage, without compromising on your comfort.

Sorting of waste

• This is a new feature! From this summer, you will find in every home a small bin for sorting which will help you with managing your waste during your stay.

• Although batteries are useful in our daily lives, recycling them can be difficult and harmful to the environment. That is why we have set up a dedicated recycling bin where you can dispose of your used batteries.

• Don’t throw your food waste away too quickly! It can be invaluable to ecosystems. So please remember to put your organic waste in our organic waste bin, located at the entrance to our campsite. This also helps to reduce our carbon footprint by minimising the need for incineration.

Eco-friendly maintenance

• We use only certified eco-friendly cleaning products, ranging from household cleaning products to laundry capsules. We also avoid using pesticides to maintain our green spaces, thereby allowing biodiversity to flourish undisturbed.

• Each property is equipped with a welcome cleaning kit containing eco-friendly products, sponges and washable cloths, ensuring that you can keep your property clean without harming the environment or your health.

• In accordance with the law and in order to protect birds’ nesting habits as much as possible, we will stop (with some exceptions) trimming our hedges from 15 March.

Living environment

• Fancy exploring the Alsace region? Why not consider carpooling? We actively encourage carpooling and bike hire to promote the use of transport alternatives to the car and support sustainable travel.

• Come along to our weekly summer market to discover our local artisans and producers. We are committed to supporting short supply chains by establishing various partnerships, including with an organic market gardener and regional producers for our snack menu.
