Eco friendly holidays
The Tourist Office works to make its visitors’ holidays greener, particularly through initiatives to raise awareness and promote the environment. Here are our tips and practical information for a stay that is ‘as ECO FRIENDLY as possible’.
Brochures
& information
Since 2016, the Tourist Office has been providing comprehensive information on the environment, illustrated by themes such as “Mettre du vert dans mes vacances” in the Destination brochure (from page 46 onwards). This initiative aims to raise visitors’ awareness of environmental issues: fire risks, access to forested areas, bathing conditions.
Our holiday advisors will be delighted to provide you with documentation on sorting, recycling and eco-responsible actions to help you enjoy a more sustainable holiday.
Eco friendly events & promotion of the area
The year 2023 marked a turning point for the promotion of local treasures through initiatives such as Richesses Croisiennes, Soirée des Étoiles, Journée de la Posidonie, Chefs dans les Vignes, and more. These eco-events, organised by the Tourist Office, aim to raise public awareness of marine and terrestrial biodiversity. Audio guides were also created in 2023 to enrich the visitor experience.
In short, since 2017, a partnership with Port-Cros National Park has enabled the development of guided themed walks, as well as the creation of a marine trail and the awarding of the Esprit Parc National label to guided sessions. An exhibition dedicated to the marine protected area, organised in 2023, highlighted the need to preserve these fragile ecosystems. In 2022, the Tourist Office signed the Act 4 Posidonia charter. For several years, it has also participated in Sustainable Development Days, initiated by the Collectivité’s environmental department.
Sustainable mobility & transport
The destination is committed to promoting sustainable transport. This involves encouraging the use of public transport and promoting the free summer shuttle service.
The brochures and maps also include precise information on the location of electric charging stations, thereby facilitating the use of these vehicles. These measures aim to reduce environmental impact while offering a sustainable alternative to conventional motorised transport.
The Tourist Office also contributes to the purchase of urban mobility equipment for bicycle parking and self-service repair stations in the village. Consult the brochure En 2 roues (On two wheels) for useful information, rental companies, routes, and more.
Promoting labels
The Tourist Office strives to promote the destination’s offerings to both visitors and professionals. The promotion of the labels and rankings obtained by the municipality, the Tourist Office and local service providers is a guarantee of quality and commitment on the part of all stakeholders.
