The Domaine Permacole de Pourpry

Is one of those places that has the power to recharge your batteries, to bring you back face to face with yourself, in connection with nature.

Because here the world is forgotten, the sky opens to starry nights, the horizon clears, silence, bellowing and cries of birds.

So we take the time to think about ourselves, to take care of our loved ones, to rediscover our priorities and the spice of life, in order to start off on the right foot, fully recharged.

This is what we propose to offer you.

And if the words "resilience", "autonomy", "permaculture", "ecological footprint" intrigue you as much as we do, we will be happy to share our experiences, our ambitions. This is our "Green Story" :

Natural Pool - No Chlorine

As soon as we started renovating the castle in 2018, it became obvious to us that we needed to reduce our environmental footprint.

At that time, the swimming pool was a single block, ran on chlorine, surrounded by concrete.

We have separated it into three depths to accommodate young people and seniors alike and have equipped it with biological filters and UV lamps.

It has therefore became a "natural bathing"...
...and we surrounded it with a wooden terrace with large openings to install plants.
The next step will be to install gravity drum filtration to save even more water and electricity.

A "Green Path" :

...but above all to explain that our approach is a permanent search to reduce the impact of our activities on the environment.

Which translates into respect for more than 60 points of attention at the heart of our labeling grouped into 3 areas: people, places and the planet.

With in each of these areas, 5 themes presented in the table below.

With more than 72% of points mastered, we obtained a “silver” level label in 2025 and we are now committed to the “gold” level.

And if you want to “do your part” with us, here are three examples of how to do it well and why:

Transport : in terms of tourism, transport represents 50% of the Co² impact. If you come by public transport (we will pick you up free of charge at the station) and rent a small car on site while limiting your travel, you have already made the lion's share of your impact!

Laundry room : If you stay for a night or a week, the work in the laundry room is the same for redoing a room. Three days minimum in the same place is a rule to remember.
And always: the used napkins end up on the floor, the others remain folded without touching them.

Food : We are forced between desires to reduce waste and to offer you the widest possible choice. So don’t hesitate, tell us exactly what would make you happy !

Speaking of food, you could look for local producers who are experts in certain regional products. The locavor.fr website is the exact answer to your needs. Unsurprisingly, we also source from the producers on this list.
