Want to know a little more about your hosts? Some introductions are in order. We are Julia <\/strong>and Baptiste <\/strong>accompanied by our son Aubin <\/strong>who is 4 years old and loves tractors and our faithful Leika<\/strong>, 8 years old, who also loves tractors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just forty years old and after a confinement, we realised that we were longing for another life, far from the city and from our jobs in the digital and craft industries. We had always dreamed of living in the countryside without ever really daring to do so, and now, thanks to La Petite Auberge<\/strong>, we’re there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We fell in love with this pretty property and its 3 g\u00eetes on the outskirts of the village, which we moved into at the end of 2021<\/strong>. The space is great, the house has a lot of character and we hope to share this place with our family, friends and guests. We have many ideas and desires to improve the place and make it, we hope, a real little paradise<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Our approach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since Aubin’s arrival, we have begun a transition to a healthier lifestyle in an environmentally responsible way. As part of this, we have put things in place to reduce our impact and that of the g\u00eetes on the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Energy and resource management<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>
\n

We are trying to reduce the use of fossil fuels. This includes changing our heating system and insulating the attic, which we plan to do in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We collect rainwater to water our plants and fill the swimming pool.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Waste management<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>
\n

We are lucky in this respect, the Dordogne department is a forerunner in waste recycling. Just about everything is recycled here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recycling bins with explanations are available in each gite as well as a compost bin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t hesitate to ask us if you have any questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eco-responsible household products<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>

We try to source a large quantity of eco-friendly household products to reduce costs and waste, so here are the products you will find in our g\u00eetes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
