Ecological Camping Paradis in Erquy
Camping Paradis label Clef Verte in Côtes-d’Armor
Concerned about our impact on the environment, we place great emphasis on respecting the energy consumption of our ecological Camping Paradis.
That’s why we decided to set up an environmental charter, in addition to being awarded the Clef Verte label.
For you, for us and for future generations, we do everything we can to minimize the impact of our activities on the environment.
We raise awareness among our teams and customers
Thanks to training in corporate social responsibility, environmental preservation and sustainable tourism issues, we have begun to implement awareness-raising measures at Camping Paradis:
★ We ask our teams to adopt “Eco gestures” in their daily tasks.
★ Our suppliers are chosen in part on the basis of their commitment to these values
★ We provide our customers with information booklets and an arboretum on the plants at the Erquy campsite.
★ We offer many alternatives to limit car travel: bike rentals, summer shuttles and public transport.
Water and energy savings
In order to reduce our water and energy consumption, at Camping Paradis, which has been awarded the Green Key label, we have installed :
★ Water savers on taps and showers to avoid depleting the resource
★ A water recuperator to water green spaces and limit the use of drinking water.
★ Presence/timer detectors in common areas to limit energy waste
★ Solar panels for hot water and a contract with a green energy supplier
Then, it’s the little things we do every day that make the difference:
★ Every month, we read our water and electricity meters to better manage our consumption.
★ We use rainwater to flush our toilets
★ We replace every bulb with an LED or low-energy bulb (over 80% of our lighting is already equipped with one).
And we continue to do so as we develop our business.
Customer well-being
Consuming better without depriving yourself! In our grocery store, you’ll find many products from our region, sourced directly from producers.
In the kitchen, our meals are prepared using seasonal and local produce, while adapting to certain special diets. Our restaurant/snack menus feature organic and/or fair-trade products.
When it comes to maintenance, all our products are eco-labeled for better air quality and fewer health risks. At Camping Paradis écologique, we limit the use of bleach-based products, which are irritating to the respiratory tract and toxic to aquatic organisms.
And more!
A few more notable facts:
★ All our green spaces are maintained without pesticides, and we use alternative methods to control weeds.
★ We work with battery-powered equipment to avoid noise pollution
★ We have partnerships with local ressourceries to donate our old equipment/furniture
★ Each year, we commit to new criteria to perfect our approach. If you have any ideas, we’d love to hear from you!
Thank you for supporting us during your stay!
Camping Paradis zero waste at Erquy
Waste management cannot be achieved without everyone’s involvement. We have already put in place a number of actions to limit and sort waste:
★ The installation of several selective sorting points (all our rental units are equipped with a pre-collection bin).
★ Sorting all types of waste (including bio-waste for recycling by our hens and composter)
★ Hospitality products are only available on request to reduce packaging waste.
★ Most of our products are in bulk or in large packs to avoid unnecessary packaging.
★ Setting up displays to help our customers sort their waste, in accordance with local regulations.
★ We offer no disposable crockery and provide reusable eco-cups during our stays.
But we’re still a long way from achieving this ambition, which requires a great deal of involvement and awareness on the part of everyone, from suppliers to holidaymakers.
