Sustainable tourism
For Séverine and Bastien, protecting nature is of the utmost importance, and a veritable philosophy of life.
"Nature is there to nourish and heal mankind, and mankind must protect it" is their credo and that of their team!
For us, it's up to our campsite to adapt to its environment, not the other way around.
Our site is exceptional and remarkable, and we are committed to protecting it. This also means taking numerous actions to reduce water, energy and waste consumption.
At Les Baleines, everything we do is designed to protect the environment: whether it's the origin and absence of hazardous treatments for the materials used in our homes, the quality and local origin of the products used in our groceries and breakfasts, or the choice of cleaning products that do not contain harmful chemicals but carry environmental labels such as Ecolabel Européen or Écocert.
We are committed to promoting and enhancing biodiversity, the heritage of the Ile de Ré and the circular economy. To this end, we have forged partnerships with Icycle, a structure for integration through economic activity, and with the LPO (Ligue de Protection des Oiseaux - League for the Protection of Birds), and we offer nature outings in high season to raise awareness among our holidaymakers.
Our environmental approach is recognized by several labels and certifications:
Qualité Tourisme - Écolabel Européen (certified since 2018) - 1% pour la planète - Accueil vélo.
We launched a CSR program in 2023 and are aiming for the LUCIE CSR label in 2024.
