An eco-responsible label : Clef Verte (Green Key)

Since 2014, the 4-star ecological campsite Domaine d’Anglas has earned the label Clef Verte (Green Key). This is the first international environmental label, and it takes into account all the actors of tourism from housing to catering. This acknowledgement evolves continually : the structure has to commit to an efficient and constant environmental approach in the implementation of each new action.

The Domaine d’Anglas is very conscientious about its environmental impact: It has put in place many guidelines for its clients and its employees to help preserve this fantastic environment:

  • Sorting of waste
  • Water usage: toilets and showers equipped with water consumption reducer, irrigation reduction
  • Respect of surrounding crops: organic vineyard thus no chemicals are used on the 115 hectares belonging to the domain.
  • Management of energy resources: lighting, heating, fridges
  • Sustainable purchasing: eco-responsible cleaning products, locally produced and seasonal food and products
  • No plastics
  • Creation of a 6km walk to promote the respect of nature

Within the philosophical views of the campsite, make the most of our natural swimming pool. Built in 2017, this pool functions by “lagoonage”. This means there are two pools: one of 300m2 to swim in and the other one to filtrate the water thanks to special plants. This means you swim in a pool that uses no chemical products that also has a lovely view onto the Thaurac. A 100% natural decor and a moment of refreshment and well-being guaranteed!

Ecological campsite in the Cévennes and an organic vineyard

An identity

Much more than just an ecological campsite in the Cévennes, the Domaine d’Anglas is also an organic vineyard. In the family since 1896, the Domaine d’Anglas produces organic wines with no added sulphites with 12 hectares of vines classified as the AOP (Appelation d’Origine Protégée, protected geographical production) Terrasses du Larzac. Here, everything is done by hand, from the vines to the cellars. This hard and passionate work translates into refined wines.

Organic vineyard and agropastoralism

Sustainable development is at the heart of the good functioning of the organic vineyard. Located in the foothills of the Cévennes National Park, agropastoralism is a key factor of local culture. This is why, every year in winter, more than 400 sheep come to eat the grass of the vineyard of the Domaine d’Anglas. In collaboration with the shepherd, the flock fertilises naturally the soil and keeps the grass in between vines down. This symbiosis means the vines are well kept without the use of any chemicals and everything is in favour of the environment! This why a sheep has become the emblem of the Domaine d’Anglas and is represented on each wine label.
