Everyday eco-friendly actions:
A caring approach: all our projects are designed with attention to people, the environment, and local well-being.
Less paper, more meaning: most of our materials are digital, printed only on demand, and complemented by sustainable tools with QR codes, providing constantly updated information via our interactive map.
Selective waste sorting, adjustable lighting, responsible energy consumption… these are well-established habits to reduce our impact. Every gesture matters for responsible tourism that preserves and enhances our exceptional natural heritage.
Accessibility and inclusion:
Even without the official Tourisme & Handicap label (Atout France), we implement concrete actions to welcome visitors with reduced mobility or specific needs.
Our tourist office is wheelchair-accessible with assistance:
Dedicated parking space directly opposite, with lowered curb and step for easy access to the peristyle.
Doorbell at the entrance to signal your arrival; staff will come to open the heavy swing door.
Adapted reception counter at wheelchair height.
Outdoor interactive touchscreen, accessible from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., allowing independent access to the city’s tourist information.
We also highlight committed partners such as Loisirs Assis Évasion, a specialist in adaptive sports, to facilitate access to leisure activities for all, and the support and advocacy association for people with disabilities “Aller plus haut”, which distributes our monthly activity programs to local stakeholders.
These initiatives are an integral part of our commitment to sustainable and inclusive tourism.
