Oenolodge in Gironde - green holiday and French wine
France - Gascony - Nouvelle Aquitaine - 33430 Le Nizan
Welcome to Olivier’s beautiful ecological holiday estate north of Langon, in Aquitaine, enveloped in a pinewood forest. His 20-acre meadow offers ten types of eco friendly accommodation inspired by five continents, from yurts to Gypsy caravans.
If you love wine, a few nights in the wooden oenological cabin may be just right for you. A visit to the wine cellar, wine tasting, books on all things wine and, for extra relaxation, a hot tub on the terrace. Couple that with the beautiful scenery and bike tours and you will have enough fun for the whole family!
The lodge can hold up to 4 guests. There is a private bathroom and kitchen.
In order to prevent any negative impact on the environment, Olivier decided to only install ephemeral dwellings, assembling and disassembling the structures at will, since they are without foundations. All the homes were constructed from green materials. In the case of the oenolodge, a layer of wood shavings on the exterior walls naturally insulate the structure. Need something bigger than a hot tub for a swim? The property’s natural pool is cleaned ecologically. Macrophyte plants such as reeds in a separate basin filters the water, which as a result, is as pristine as a mountain lake.
Thematic animated clips on sustainable development are also organized to explain the eco-friendly activity of the site to guests and help visitors of all ages in incorporating eco-friendly practices in their daily lives.
The bar serves serves meals on the spot and offers take away – regional specialties, most of them organic, such as foie gras and pâtés from the nearby preserve maker and Sauternes wine. You may also prepare your own dishes in the kitchen.
Finally, vehicles remain in the parking lot, at a distance from the site so as to better enjoy your holiday without a car!
Set in the heart of the preserved nature area of Bazas south of Bordeaux, an area well known for its wine production, Olivier’s estate is a good base camp to discover this beautiful French region. Start off on a ride on a cycling path to the Roquetaillade the nearby Château, less than 3 miles away, a prime example of medieval architecture fully restored and complete with its round towers and battlements. As for Bazas (3 miles), it is a stage on the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage where you may discover its UNESCO-listed cathedral and magnificent heritage. Around 35 miles from Bordeaux, you can also take a wine tour through the vineyards grown in biodynamics.
