Coquillade Provence

Coquillade Provence was awarded the European Ecolabel in July 2012. The award was given in recognition of its investments and efforts to protect the environment. 

Since it opened, the property has met all the criteria of responsible tourism, from geothermal heating and cooling in all the buildings and green electricity, to selective waste sorting and ecolabel maintenance products. Non-potable water from the Provence Canal is used to water the green spaces and flush the toilets. The walkways and underbrush on the grounds are maintained to prevent fires. The hotel has carried out a carbon footprint assessment and is embarking on a decarbonization strategy, part of which includes carbon offsetting allowing them to have achieved carbon neutrality in 2022.

In the kitchen, the chef uses fruits, vegetables and herbs from his kitchen garden, and orders ingredients from mostly organic local farmers. Farmed using sustainable agricultural methods, the Aureto de Coquillade Provence vineyard produced its first organic vintages in 2022.
