Permaculture
The Pourpry estate has been permaculture since its conception, now certified by Green Tourism for our efforts to reduce environmental impact. We are therefore trying in the context of a guest house to apply the 12 major principles of permaculture based on natural ecology in order to progress in this direction.
As a guest house, we must nevertheless ensure the comfort of our customers, which implies a pragmatic approach on many points such as the use of energy (operation of a swimming pool for example) or external supplies that it is impossible to produce locally in sufficient quantity (seeds, meat, sawdust, etc.).
We are neither teachers nor a teaching center. Our approach is rather to share our experiences in order to progress ourselves and to help those who wish to progress.
So, if you want to work with us on current projects, transform products, do gardening or take care of animals, we will regularly offer you workshops based on free participation.
For the little ones, we strive to educate our animals to accept contact so that they live unforgettable experiences.
Below you will find several principles implemented at Pourpry:

A thousand and one details that seem obvious to us: soap dispensers, low-energy lighting, "organic" products, wood heating, waste reduction, composting, nature protection... and all the comments you can make to help us go further!
To go further, do not hesitate to consult our "Environmental approach" , a document which lists everything we have undertaken to make your stay more respectful of the environment.
