THE ECOLOGICAL APPROACH<\/h1>\n\n\n\n


We are all three sensitive to environmental issues and our impact on this beautiful planet Earth, which must be preserved at all costs.
So inevitably, this principle also followed us in this project, whether during the renovations of the accommodation, but also in rental uses, or even on the selection of products made available to our tenants.
We do not shout loud and clear that our way of doing things is ideal or perfect, but we try to do the best, if only with small daily gestures, in order to limit our ecological impacts.

GIVE A SECOND LIFE<\/strong>
Nous avons r\u00e9nov\u00e9 la totalit\u00e9 du logement tout en voulant conserver un maximum de mat\u00e9riaux d\u00e9j\u00e0 pr\u00e9sents, tels que les poutres en bois, le plancher \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9tage, la vo\u00fbte en pierre, les fen\u00eatres en bois… afin de leur donner une seconde vie. Le portail ext\u00e9rieur est d\u2019origine \u00e9galement, il a \u00e9t\u00e9 modifi\u00e9 pour permettre une ouverture plus facile de la porte. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

REINFORCE INSULATION<\/strong>
We put double glazing on the windows while keeping their original wooden frame. The large canopy is also all double glazing. However, we had to replace the original one which was much too damaged to be kept. 
We also insulate the floor, exterior walls and ceilings to limit thermal bridges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

USE OF NATURAL MATERIALS<\/strong>
We have done our best to avoid the use of highly processed materials such as plastic, and favor natural stone, travertine, wood, iron...<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LIMIT THE CONSUMPTION<\/strong>
The accommodation is fully equipped with low consumption LED bulbs. 
We have also limited the temperature of the hot water tank to 60\u00b0C to avoid unnecessary overheating, and we have set up a scheduler so that the tank only operates during off-peak hours.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

PRODUCTS' SELECTION<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

FAVOR ORGANIC, RECYCLABLE,
NATURAL PRODUCTS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ENCOURAGE THE LOCAL<\/strong>
(as possible)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We are rigorous in the selection of products that we make available to our tenants.

Consumable products are mainly organic, and therefore more responsible.
A votre disposition, vous trouverez par exemple le caf\u00e9 \u201cTerramoka<\/a>\u201d, an organic coffee roasted in France. It is a coffee of excellence, ethical and eco-responsible. The capsules are 100% compostable. A small box is made available to you to recycle them. Herbal teas and teas are also organic!

For cleaning, we try to use natural products, which require little or no processing, also avoiding chemicals, such as black soap, household vinegar... or even ecological or eco-labelled products. Some products such as laundry are purchased in bulk to limit packaging.

We are also committed to reducing our carbon impact while favoring local or French players.
For example, you will find in the accommodation the scents and candles \"\u00a0Durance<\/a>\u00a0\" (made in Grignan) and eco-refillable organic shower soaps and shampoos \"La Savonnette<\/a>\u201d (Annecy).
We also tell you in our welcome booklet, some good addresses to stock up on fresh and local products!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SMALL GESTURES<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every little gesture counts! We are counting on you, to register in this process, and to make our beautiful duplex an eco-responsible accommodation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
