Les terrasses, gîtes en Cévennes – Nature-focused accommodations

Continuous improvement for more comfort and less impact

When we took over the gîtes in 2022, we were fully aware that their environmental performance could be improved. Since then, we have undertaken a series of transformations aimed at reducing our carbon footprint, improving comfort in all seasons, and limiting energy consumption. This approach follows a logic of continuous progress, recognised by several labels, reflecting our desire to combine comfort and respect for the territory.

Concrete actions for sustainable accommodation

Building and thermal comfort improvements
Replacement of single-glass windows and fittings to enhance natural comfort, especially in summer, with blinds and green pergolas.

Durable and repairable equipment
High-performance appliances, heating and electricity control devices, regular consumption monitoring, with repairability as a priority.

Responsible water and outdoor space management
Purchase of water-efficient devices, recovery and reuse of some water, controlled watering, and planting of low-water native species.

Greener energy
Purchase of green electricity and progressive reduction of fossil fuel dependence.

Global approach
Waste sorting and composting, furniture reuse and renovation, eco-responsible supplies and sustainable purchases.

Future projects to further reduce impact

As part of our continuous improvement, a project to replace the current boiler with a pellet biomass boiler is under consideration to further reduce our environmental footprint.
These structural choices extend into daily actions through our zero-waste approach and responsible, local consumption.
