Experience
Le Rocher is a place of relaxation, exchanges, healing, reflection and discovery, with a natural change of scenery, without artifice, in all simplicity. A natural site of great beauty, to discover in good company, to fully experience unforgettable moments.
Our Eco Mission
We want to develop eco-responsible tourism in this place. In this spirit, we call on local partners committed to a solidarity approach. The household linen is entrusted to the good care of the laundry l'Âtre in Alençon. Founded by nuns with the aim of offering employment to those leaving prison and to women in difficulty of integration, the association recognized as being of public utility promotes socio-professional integration and therefore re-socialization. The outdoor spaces are embellished thanks to the work of the company Atouts Services 61, which, under the impetus of the association Collectif d'urgence, allows the integration of people in difficulty by learning techniques in the field of outdoor development. . The cleaning is done with ecological products, we recycle waste and gradually fit out the spaces with bio-sourced materials. A small guide made available to our visitors encourages the introduction to anti-waste gestures.
In 2024, we will open a second gîte: Les Écuries. The layout of this agricultural building will meet the principles of HQE architecture (high environmental quality), to welcome you in healthy and comfortable spaces. The creation of this second space will allow groups for nearly thirty visitors. This will also facilitate the organization of weekend meetings in which well-being and personal development will be central themes.
Daily
In the house, there are a thousand little gestures that should become a good habit to preserve our resources. Some ideas below:
I think about turning off the lights, and not letting the water run while I brush my teeth. When I do the dishes I use as little water as possible. I water the outdoor plants with the water from the vegetables that I rinse; I sort my waste;
Do not hesitate to share your ideas with us!
