Ecotourism / Sustainable tourism

Epicureans are well acquainted with the Bordeaux-Gironde region, renowned for its many restaurants and specialties, but above all for being the world's largest vineyard. The earth is an asset that must be preserved, through responsible acts and good practices. 

This is also the case for many tourist sites, which are now adopting an eco-responsible approach, with the aim of achieving sustainable development. Waste management, control of water and energy consumption, promotion of short supply chains and elimination of pesticides in production: every gesture counts in preserving biodiversity. 

Whether in Bordeaux, Libourne or the Bassin d'Arcachon, the tourism industry is increasingly aware of the need to respect the environment. Want to reduce your carbon footprint? Here's a non-exhaustive list of eco-responsible addresses committed to sustainable development. Opting for slow tourism is easy when you know where to book.

Enjoy your visit to Bordeaux-Gironde!
