Overview of the project

The Ecolodge La Tourterelle is a tourist establishment which is part of the strategy for an inclusive ecotourism. Its objectives can be defined in two main aspects: 1.a genuinely ecological and environmental dimension, with:
  • A garden in the farm, which blooms amid green valleys.
  • A space for biological cattle breeding; kids (goat), endemic lamb (D'man) and local domestic poultry (Beldi chicken and birds: quail...), beldis eggs...
  • The construction is conceived under ecological standards, using local material, allowing full rest in a peaceful and clean environment.
All local products are a vegetal resource which allows the production of biological food for nature-loving people and friends of the EcoLodge "La Tourterelle" 2. Staff from a family well-rooted in history, mastering a deep authentic local knowledge. ex: firewood cooking. The mission is to ensure an art of good living and wellbeing. The life cycle is circular: seeding or vegetable reproduction, added to a bio-mass fertilized production from domestic animals allows consumers to enjoy natural and biological products.
