Convinced that the necessary change in our lifestyle is not a constraint but self-enrichment, we wanted to develop a concept of accommodation that reconciles the services of a luxury guesthouse with a minimal ecological footprint.
New technologies and a deep conviction have allowed us to move forward in this direction and to obtain the international Label Green Key, making Bien Loin d’Ici the first guest house of the Gard to be labelled.
Bien Loin d’Ici is a manifesto of tomorrow’s ecology that invites you to live an enriching and, we hope, inspiring experience for your personal projects.
