Ralentir Savourer Apprécier
It is above all a personal commitment that we, Yves and Sylvie, make to our beautiful old house, our land, our immediate environment, our island and, as humans living on Earth, our fragile unique planet in the vast Milky Way.
Just as the Little Prince did with his rose, we are aware that our well-being is closely linked to that of the natural and built environment around us. We want to do our part to reduce our environmental footprint to maintain, or even improve, the quality of life for all. ​
​

-
Own only one car -- it is a hybrid.
-
Salt pool rather than chlorine.

Avoid the dryer by hanging clothes and sheets on the outdoor clothesline.
