Waste sorting and composting
We sort our waste in order to lessen our environmental impact. Three garbage bins are at your disposal to sort your trash effectively.
We also compost scraps from organic fruits and vegetables. You will find compost bowls in the house if you wish to contribute to our compost pile.
Reasonable water consumption
The water in the house comes from our private well and we encourage a thoughtful use of this precious resource.
The shower is equipped with a water-saving filter as well as an hourglass to track your consumption.
A bowl for washing your organinc vegetables is available in order to keep the water which will then be used to water the plants.

Sharing and protecting nature
We are located in the middle of nature and do our best to ensure the place we share with the local wildlife remains a peaceful haven. Deer, stags, does, hares, bats, birds, butterflies, martens, weasels, badgers, voles, shrews, toads, slow worms etc… A wide range of animals elect to pass through or stay for a little while on the property and we cohabit in harmony. Sometimes that means the deer have nibbled on the raspberry bushes, a spider has spun its web in a corner or that a bird has lost its way inside the house if the windows weren’t netted.
A place for biodiversity
We only mow when and where it is absolutely necessary to do so. Large spaces are left completely alone in order to offer a refuge for the local wildlife and encourage wild flowers. We mow these spaces at the end of the warm season, to prepare the grounds for winter.
We mow tracks in the tall grass to go from one place to another, like a wild labyrinth.
