Zero pesticides
We try to exclude any use of chemicals for the maintenance of our parks and gardens. Eric at Suze Luxe Nature and Linda from Moulin de César are our specialists!
Zero waste
No waste! Our catering teams adapt to the needs of our travelers according to the theme of their stay: children, sports, culture. A proactive policy to reduce household waste, particularly food waste, has been
implemented (on-site composting).
Our team is always on the lookout! Selective sorting is applied by all our teams in every department.
Local purchases
Lucky to be located in areas overflowing with high quality products, we try as far as possible of course to consume a portion locally for both food products and services. Despite this, the share of short circuit food products still remains quite low in each of our establishments.
Local recruitment
With equal skills, we favor local hiring in our 3 establishments.
Resource management
A general policy is implemented: application of solutions to save our water, energy and material resources.
Homemade basket
For your picnics and packed lunches, remember to bring your own containers!
