Our actions for the planet
We present our
Environmental Charter

Today, the environment is at the heart of everyone’s concerns.
As a committed tourist destination, we are deeply convinced of the need to preserve our environment for future generations.

Our energy savings
- The water in our two sanitary blocks is heated by solar panels.
- We have replaced all halogen bulbs with low-energy bulbs.
- We have installed lighting timers and twilight detectors in common areas to limit energy wastage.
- Two electric recharging points for electric and hybrid vehicles are available at the campsite entrance.
- We use electric scooters for the upkeep and maintenance of the campsite to avoid noise pollution.
Our water savings
- Our taps are equipped with flow reducers and push-buttons, enabling us to reduce our consumption by 30%.
- We use a drip irrigation system with a timer, and water our plants at sunset.
Our waste management
- We’ve put up a sign at the entrance to the building explaining how to sort waste.
- Our garbage can at the campsite entrance has several containers to encourage sorting: glass, cardboard, packaging, household waste, paper and biowaste. We ask you to sort your waste by bringing it to the collection point and respecting the different flows. We do the same with our own waste.
- Hazardous waste management :
- Recycling chlorine drums and tracking waste with the Track déchet app
- Local company recycles edible oils
- Pine needles are collected daily and transported to a recycling center in Calvi, where they are transformed into compost.
- We do all the pruning on the campsite ourselves, and the green waste is also composted.
- Cigarette-butt recycling: We have a garbage can at the bar into which we empty our ashtrays. The recycling ambassadors come and collect it when it’s full.
- Recycling of batteries, pens, light bulbs and ink cartridges at reception.
Responsible purchasing
- Only organic fertilizer is used to maintain our plants and green spaces.
- 95% of the cleaning products we use are eco-labeled or of natural origin.

A greener offering
