The eco-friendly practices

Adopt responsible behaviour

• Travel at a moderate speed by bike or on paths to avoid collisions.
• Use suitable equipment : a helmet, lights and a bike lock.
• Take your waste with you and sort it to avoid polluting nature.
• Reduce noise pollution and respect other visitors and residents.

Prepare your trips

• Choose routes suited to your level and physical abilities.
• Bring water, a hat and binoculars to observe nature without disturbing it.
• Choose the cooler hours to enjoy a pleasant and safe experience.
• Plan your trips to limit journeys and combine activities.

Respect natural areas

• Stay on marked trails to protect fragile vegetation.
• Avoid nesting or resting areas used by wildlife.
• Do not pick wild plants or disturb habitats.
• Observe wildlife with care and discretion.

Encourage sustainable local practices

• Choose local and seasonal products to support the local economy.
• Choose restaurants and businesses committed to sustainable development.
• Take part in local initiatives to protect nature and heritage.

Practise energy efficiency

• Turn off lights and appliances on standby when you leave your accommodation.
• Limit the use of air conditioning : choose fans, morning or evening ventilation and keep shutters closed during the hottest hours.
• Do not overload household appliances (washing machine, dishwasher) : choose eco cycles.
• Avoid leaving hot water running unnecessarily, as it consumes a lot of energy.
