Eco-responsible vacation ideas in France
1 2 3 Sun ! That's it, summer is finally here, and who says summer, says vacation. Holidays, yes, but eco-responsible holidays are better! And for that, there is no need to fly to the other side of the world.
Sea, mountain, river, countryside or even lake, France is full of beautiful and refreshing places that combine sustainable tourism and unforgettable places.
Whether you are more of a lazy person in the sun, sporty or nature lover, the Nénés team has put together the perfect guide for an eco-responsible holiday in France!
(1) A week by the sea in Marseille
For an eco-friendly holiday by the sea and in the sun, what could be better than Marseille?
With its coves with turquoise waters, its cicadas and its singing accent, Marseille has everything to transport you!
To discover the treasures of Marseille , take a trip aboard the traditional Marseille “ Barquettes ” .
These boats offer half-day, full-day or evening sea trips , aboard authentic barquettes renovated and carefully maintained by Marseille craftsmen.
Head for the island of Frioul or the blue coast to discover gems accessible only by water.
On board, you can opt for an aperitif made with local products. An ideal way to discover the Mediterranean! All this just 3 hours by train from Paris.
For this vacation, adopt our blue Cambray Top to blend into the Mediterranean.
Marseille is full of many environmentally friendly activities: hiking in the Calanques National Park, snorkeling to discover marine biodiversity or visiting the city, you can enjoy the charms of the Phocaean city.
We particularly recommend the Pas de la Demi-Lune hike for a breathtaking view!
(2) A stay between sea and mountains in the Basque Country
Why not opt for adventure by renting a van to explore the charms of the Basque Coast?
A true paradise for surfers and lovers of the great outdoors, it is the perfect place for responsible holidays in slow life mode.
To accompany you in your surfing sessions, adopt our Bohai shorty which will be your perfect ally for taming the waves!
After a surf session, head to the Lobita café to chat with your loved ones and taste the best coffees in Biarritz!
On the mountain side, head to the Rhune massif where you can gain height and discover the pottoks: Basque ponies.
(3) A wild getaway in Bretagne
Want to escape ? Explore the wild coasts of Bretagne, famous for its maritime landscapes between land and sea.
Enjoy bike rides along the coast in Rikki to discover the picturesque villages and hidden coves of Bretagne.
Or try sailing and for those who are less cautious, take the plunge in the Caspienne!
(4) Corsica by sailboat
It has been said: flying is a no-no! But boat transport is not ideal either.
To offer an alternative, SailCoop , a passenger transport cooperative under sail, allows us to travel differently, thanks to the wind: an inexhaustible and free energy!
A unique experience that saves up to 70% on fuel.
The cooperative offers daily sailing connections between Saint-Raphaël and Calvi (Corsica) from June to September. And what's more, organic and vegetarian meals are included!
(4) Outdoor vacations
For mountain lovers, head to the Alps for an eco-responsible vacation in the great outdoors!
Start by exploring the many hiking trails that the Alps abound. Then, try your hand at climbing or via ferrata to gain height and observe the flora and fauna. Who knows, you might be lucky enough to come across marmots or chamois
Whether you are attracted by the turquoise water of the Mediterranean, the Alps or the waves of the Basque Coast, France is full of places for responsible holidays.
Activities like hiking, cycling, kayaking or sailing not only reduce our carbon footprint, but also allow us to discover natural treasures close to home.
