Eco-Tourism
Le Rigal estate is run organically; no chemicals are used on the pastures and re-cycling is a way of life.
You will find recycling bins close to the gite where paper, card, plastic containers, boxes, bags, bottles, tins, cans and so on can be collected and recycled. A composting system is in place and most kitchen waste (apart from meat) can be composted. The compost produced is then spread onto our organic vegetable plot.
The brand new pool conforms to all the latest safety and filtration standards.It is securely fenced and alarmed. The pool is a salt water pool thus avoiding chemicals that damage the skin and environment.
There is a large trampoline, swings, slides, a table tennis table and acres of space to run around in.
We have a variety of livestock, including two ponies, rare breed hens and a pets corner. The rest of our land is grazed by cattle and the farmer who owns them has a vineyard which produces local Bergerac wine.We can recommend vineyards to visit and wine tours.
