Green and Sustainable Tourism

Enjoying Nature While Respecting Our Environment

At Camping La Jaurie, we believe in tourism that places nature, tranquillity and respect for the environment at its heart. We want our guests to enjoy the beauty of the Limousin while keeping our ecological footprint as small as possible.

That is why we consciously choose sustainable solutions wherever possible, encourage the use of environmentally friendly products and support the local economy. Our guests also play an important role in this approach. Through small, thoughtful actions, we can all help preserve this special environment.

Our Practical Initiatives

Reducing Waste and Recycling

Preventing waste and sorting it carefully helps conserve resources and reduce our environmental impact. At La Jaurie, we ask our guests to sort their waste carefully into the following categories: compostable waste, packaging, garden waste, paper and hygiene products.

To encourage waste sorting and reduce unnecessary waste, there are no general waste bins on the campsite. We rely on everyone's cooperation to keep our campsite clean and pleasant.

A Swimming Pool with the Environment in Mind

Our swimming pool uses saltwater electrolysis to treat the water and maintain its quality. As with any swimming pool treatment system, it is important to monitor the water quality regularly and follow the pool rules.

To protect the water quality, the use of sun creams and other skincare products in the swimming pool is prohibited, including organic products. We recommend protecting your skin with a UV-protective swimming shirt and following the instructions provided for using the pool.

Natural Wastewater Treatment

Our wastewater is treated using a constructed reed-bed filter. This system uses natural processes and plants to help purify the wastewater.

To ensure that this treatment system functions properly, we ask our guests to use biodegradable cleaning and personal care products.

Due to our wastewater treatment system, chemical toilet waste cannot be emptied into the campsite toilets. For motorhomes and caravans, we recommend considering the use of a composting or other dry toilet. A dedicated facility is available on the campsite for emptying these toilets.

Dry Toilets

Dry toilets are available on the campsite. They provide an alternative to conventional toilets and help reduce water consumption.

Recently, we have started collecting urine separately in a large storage tank. This allows us to recover a nutrient-rich resource which, after appropriate treatment and safe application, can be useful for our gardens.

Activities in Harmony with Nature

Our activities and workshops are inspired by nature and the character of our region. We want our guests to discover the natural environment, local heritage and pleasures of outdoor life in a relaxed and respectful way.

Home-Grown Vegetables for Our Meals

When preparing our meals, we use vegetables from our own garden as much as possible, depending on the season and what is available to harvest. This allows our guests to enjoy fresh produce and discover the quality and flavour of locally grown vegetables.

Sustainability Is a Shared Responsibility

Sustainable tourism often comes down to small actions: sorting waste carefully, saving water, making responsible consumer choices and treating nature with respect.

Thank you for joining us in making our campsite more environmentally friendly and helping preserve the beautiful natural surroundings of La Jaurie.
