Acting together for responsible tourism

The Tourist Office of Aigues-Mortes works to reduce its environmental impact and promote sustainable tourism.

Our brochures are available in digital format to limit paper use. On-site, we favour low-energy practices : LED lighting, natural ventilation, and low-energy equipment. Our waste management is strict, with systematic sorting and recycling.

Our staff, trained in eco-friendly practices, also promote local environmental initiatives.

And you, visitors, can also participate : reporting polluting behaviour, respecting natural spaces, and adopting responsible habits helps preserve the richness and beauty of Aigues-Mortes, for today and for the future.
