The centre and its environmental features
The center is set in a nice moderned medieval farm in the middle of a preserved nature, authorized to receive people with disabilities. Surrounded by its park of 10 hectares of ecologic gardens, prairies and forests, crossed by a charming little river. Maybe you’ll meet our animal friends, living their lives : rabbits, donkeys, chickens and our queen « Kounie », the grumpy sow.

Environmental Management, policy and practices
The center team is constantly working to make its practices and environnemental values consistent, and limit the ecological impact of its activities and everyday life. The food is organic, mostly plant based always without meat. We limit our wastes, have compost bins, upcycle or recycle. We use dry toilets, share vehicles, use free softwares and clouds, etc.
