SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Among things that matter of lot to us is working with suppliers from the region and get locally produced French supplies as much as possible. All our providers are carefully selected, in the Auvergne-Rhones-Alpes region for the most part, in order to foster mutual support between different occupational activities.

We invite our teams and dear guests to be watchful about their consumption of energy through behaviours that are simple and easy to adopt on a daily basis but make a big difference over the long-term. Thus, we are implementing rules that aim at reducing the Domaine’s consumption of energy as much as possible.

We therefore recommend you to put some actions into practice, that are beneficial to the Domaine and the planet alike:

● switch off the lights of rooms that are unoccupied and when you leave your bedroom

● swich all electrical equipment off

● unplug devices in case of continued absence

● unplug mobile phone chargers

● turn down heating or cooling of the rooms according to whether they are occupied or not, whether the windows are opened or not

● Prioritise daylight whenever possible

● save warm water

● do not through used batteries into the rubbish bin, but leave them at the reception desk

Aiming at not throwing anything away anymore, we have implemented various collecting systems and have reconsidered out waste management method. All soaps provided in the bedrooms are gathered by UNISOAP association, as donation.

We have also introduced compost containers that later go feeding the earth back.

As far as plastics consumption is concerned, referring to water bottles notably, we have decided to remove those completely in 2021 and have opted for bottles of micro-filtered still and sparkling water, which are made of glass and are reusable.

Our gardener teams look after the Domaine just as they do with their own private gardens and thoroughly care for it each day. We favour natural, eco-friendly products that are not harmful to our land, but also preserve all animals living on the domain. We are extraordinarily lucky to host on our domain these many different bird species that are swans, ducks, herons and so on, but also, more secretly, some rare amphibian species.
