CAMPING PAYSAN DE LA GILBERDIÈRE

Biodiversity and everything that enables it to thrive is essential to us.

That's why

-Trees are part of our daily lives, and we admire the older ones and regularly replant new ones. As a result, we have a wide variety of birds and owls, who delight us with their songs.

-We don't mow every part of the campsite, as a multitude of life thrives under the tall grass.

-Stinging nettles are no longer considered a problem, but can flourish in a variety of places, enabling butterflies, among others, to reproduce.

-Nesting boxes and holes in the stone walls allow birds to breed peacefully, while bats can take refuge in simple installations.

-The CPIE has built a nesting box for barn owls, and we're eagerly awaiting its occupancy so that we can observe the young using the camera.

-We are a member of the LPO (bird protection league) and a bird sanctuary. We are part of the Suisse Normande Territoire préservé network, with an environmental charter to be respected, and we belong to the CPIE des collines normandes.

-Our renewable electricity supplier is ENERCOOP.

-Food waste from the campsite is redistributed to our chickens and dog.

-We plan to install solar panels connected to our thermodynamic water heaters.

For these reasons, we invite you to support our commitments:

To reduce water consumption, if possible, use dry toilets rather than conventional ones. There are plenty of them on the campsite.

It's also important to reduce our waste and recycle what we can. So you have different, marked garbage cans at your disposal to help you sort your waste.

Noise is also a source of pollution, so we ask you to park your vehicles in the parking lot, and to keep them off the campsite only when unloading or loading. Youcan only get around the farm on foot.

We take great care not to disturb the natural nightlife. You will not have permanent lights at night, and we ask you to turn off any lights that are left on when you leave the abricool.

Don't drive in the morning to fetch fresh bread! Didier takes orders in the evening and in the early hours of the morning, usually by bike, goes to the bakery in Berjou to bring you your bread and or viennoiseries.
