A green attitude - Environment/Sustainable development.
After being awarded the “Eco-défis du Parc” label in December 2014, the “Engagé zéro Phyto” label in October 2020, we are delighted to receive the “Tourisme zéro déchet” label in April 2023!
An award that recognizes and rewards establishments committed to reducing waste production.
Our 4-star campsite in Rocamadour in the Lot region of France is committed to environmental protection and conservation:
Water
We water our hedges and flowers using rainwater harvesters.
We recycle water from showers to supply the toilets in our Premium cottage“La Route de la Noix“
The sanitary facilities, water points and rental units are equipped with water savers.
Our staff are trained in leak detection.
Customers
We print as few paper brochures as possible (less paper, less transport). We encourage e-mail exchanges.
Vehicle traffic is prohibited from 10:30 pm to 8 am on the campsite.
We welcome your opinions and suggestions to improve our environmental approach.
Energy
Hot water in the main building is produced by solar energy.
All rental units, sanitary facilities and lighting are equipped with low-energy bulbs.
Presence detectors with timers have been installed in sanitary facilities.
Some of our rental units are equipped with key switches to limit electricity consumption when the accommodation is empty.
We have installed individual meters in some rental units for precise monitoring of electricity consumption.
The swimming pool (covered) is heated by a heat pump to reduce energy consumption.
Maintenance
The cleaning products we use are ecologically certified.
We do not use chemical fertilizers.
Some green waste is reused as mulch or compost.
Landscaping
We favor natural materials in our equipment (exterior wood cladding).
Our secondary roads and parking lots are made of draining materials to facilitate water penetration into the soil.
We favor manual and mechanical weeding.
Waste
The campsite has a dedicated selective sorting area with containers for glass, paper, plastics and cans.
We compost all our plant waste.
Hazardous waste is sorted and used edible oils are stored separately and collected by specialized recycling companies.
We recycle used batteries, light bulbs…
All our staff are selective sorters.
We ask you to do your utmost to contribute, in your own way, to this success.
All you need to do is :
- Limit your water consumption
- Turn off lights when you leave the premises
- Pay attention to the use of toilet paper in washrooms
- Respect the waste sorting system in place
- Don’t throw away cigarette butts, paper and other garbage
- Stop your engine.
Working together to protect nature
The campsite is also a partner of the L.P.O. (Ligue de Protection des Oiseaux – League for the Protection of Birds) through its bird sanctuary.
