The campsite’s eco-responsible approach

Lac de Savenay Campsite has chosen to honour its commitment to the environment by implementing eco-responsible solutions aimed at reducing water and energy consumption on campsite premises, limiting the impact the campsite could have on the environment. The overall aim of this approach is to combine holiday pleasure and responsible tourism.
