Brev’maculture is the way of life at Le Brévedent
“L’art de vivre!”

Permaculture

Permanent farming at nature’s pace.
Preserve biodiversity and understand the virtues of the nature that surrounds us.
Become a camper-picker! The vegetable gardens are accessible to all.
The rules of permaculture: always leave 1/3 of the plant. Using or sharing what you pick is the beginning of change, a new collaborative consumption!

Ecology at Le Brévedent

It’s not because it’s trendy!
There can be up to 130 families living together at the Le Brévedent campsite at once. We genuinely believe that we have to reduce our environmental impact.
And here’s how it starts…

• 100% renewable electricity produced in France
• Energy-efficient consumption
• Organic and local products, in all our services
• A zero waste approach
• The use of environmentally friendly cleaning products
• Permaculture, the Brév’maculture
• Minimised lighting for the protection of nocturnal animals and the starry sky
• Recycling of reusable objects and materials
• Taking action for biodiversity
• Ecological awareness to encourage action
• The proposal of electric bikes
• The presence of hives to promote natural pollination
• An assured selective waste sorting and recycling

Living together

Living well with your neighbours means you’ll enjoy your stay.
Camper-pickers can share their harvest, good deals or just a bottle of cider with their neighbours.
There’s also a rideshare board next to reception. Do you have two spare seats for a trip to Honfleur market? Let us know!
Le Brévedent is a family affair. 4 generations have had the pleasure of developing and sharing Brév’maculture. You’ll probably come across the 5th generation enjoying an ice cream!
