Preserving the environment

Reducing energy and water consumption Use natural products to get rid of insects rather than dangerous chemical sprays

Respect the natural environment – do not leave cigarette ends or litter behind

Illegal dumping of waste in the countryside pollutes the soil, watercourses, groundwater and the air by releasing toxic substances. Illegal dumping poses a threat to animal and plant species.

I respect the environment and protect local ecosystems:

Do not pick wild plants Do not disturb local wildlife Stick to the marked trails when hiking. This will help prevent trampling and erosion in protected and fragile areas , and show respect for the private land you cross and the work of local farmers. Do not light fires.

Let’s continue to preserve our treasures together and look after our planet!

France’s appeal to tourists draws its strength from the richness of its localcultural, natural and historicalheritage, which today faces the challenge of ensuring its long-term survival.

To ensure that current levels of tourism can be maintained or even increased in the future, it is essential to manage its economic, social and environmental development effectively. It is therefore necessary, where required, to undertake a strategic overhaul of the tourism sector.

The Tourist Office

is committed to its organisation!

No doubt about it

Environmental awareness is here and now – it’s up to us to take action and bring about change!

But don’t forget that before you can change others, you must first change yourself!

At the Office

We have therefore decided to adopt a fewsimple measures to reduce our impact on the planet:

Objectively assessing what is consumed and produced.

Just like at home…

Firstly, energy consumption: changing lighting, the heating system, purchasing consumables, switching off standby modes, etc.

Observe the movements

In a business context, choose the most suitablemode of transport for each journey: long distances -> train; within a 150km radius -> car. Purchase an electric car powered by green energy.

Work:

As for the printer: yes, the tourism sector is still ‘hooked’ on paper, and efforts to reduce paper use can sometimes be difficult to implement. So, at the very least, use PEFC-certified paper and Imprim’vert-certified printing, of course.
On the access map: highlighting transport options other than the car: it’s possible and it’s easy,
Within the team: newsletters are kept to a minimum and emails are regularly deleted to avoid them being stored; plastic water bottles are replaced with reusable water bottles; waste is sorted, etc.
