OUR VALUES, OUR ENGAGEMENTS!
For several years now, we have been committed to adopting an ecological approach.
At our level, this means limiting our waste by consuming less and differently.
Changing our habits and how we travel are all areas in which we can invest. We are trying to be eco-citizens in order to limit our daily impact on the environment.
Actually, the estate began the process of obtaining the European Ecolabel.
We will be installing beehives to make our own honey, solar panels to produce carbon-free energy, and a heat pump to reduce our energy consumption.
In addition, we are hosting a project creating meadow rich in biodiversity, allowing emblematic species to reproduce and feed.
We wish you welcome in our haven of peace!
ECO-RESPONSABLE TURISM
We hope that you also are willing to follow these principles by taking some simple actions:
– Sort your waste using the collectors located on the estate (glass, paper, packaging, organic waste for chickens, bottle caps, charcoal, etc.)
– Avoid wasting water and electricity
– Choose local and organic products for your meals
– When you move, you can:
Use car pool: www.ecov.fr et www.blablacar.fr
Use public transport like the bus from Marcorignan: www.citibus.fr (line 9)
Rent bikes; we have 3 electric bikes at the Domain or you can contact local rental companies: www.languedoc-vtt-evasion.com or www.bigupcycling.com
–And embrace slow tourism: hiking and cycling, or water sports such as sailing, kitesurfing, windsurfing, or paddleboarding
Take the time to discover our beautiful region of Occitanie differently!
HUPPETTES EN FÊTE – AN ECOLOGICAL FESTIVAL
September 26–28, 2025, Château de la Motte, Marcorignan
A project important for us has finally hatched: the Huppettes en fête festival.
From September 26 to 28, 2025, we will welcome this festival at the Château de la Motte to highlight local ecological initiatives and to reflect on and practice civic engagement for the transformation of our region.
We are co-organizing this project with the association Le Collectif Bleu Occitanie, which helps people find their place in collective environmental action while caring for their mental well-being.
Huppettes en fête is a festival project centered around ecology.The festival will showcase local initiatives and actors committed to ecology, offering a program (workshops and conferences).
The programming will be designed to foster collective reflection on climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss, with a focus on the specific challenges of the Narbonne area (drought, soil salinization, viticulture, etc.). These environmental themes will be linked with the region’s social issues, such as poverty and precarity. Beyond theory, we aim to provide as many practical tools as possible to empower citizens.
Joy will be at the heart of the festival: we aim to create an enriching experience with festive events (concerts, theatre performances) and collective gatherings (morning meetups, shared meals, workshops encouraging connection). We are also committed to offering a dedicated program for the children of Marcorignan’s school, and to cultivating a family-friendly atmosphere.
The festival is designed to be financially accessible and inclusive.
