In an age of growing environmental awareness, low-carbon holidays in France are emerging as a key trend, where discovering the world goes hand in hand with respect for the planet. How cool is that? An ecological experience without compromising on pleasure.
At The Family Van, we offer tailor-made low-carbon holidays in France in an electric van. The idea is to keep the mobility of the converted van while having a minimum impact on the ecosystem.
Your low-carbon holidays in France start as soon as you walk through the front door!
Responsible travellers start their low-carbon holidays in France by favouring low-carbon modes of transport, such as the train, car-sharing or the electric car. A destination with good public transport links offsets the effects of too much tourism by grouping journeys together, which is more environmentally friendly.
Here at The Family Van, we’ve chosen to locate our offices just 1 minute’s walk from Dax station. It’s directly accessible from several major stations, including Paris and Bordeaux. So you’ll have the opportunity to come by public transport, which considerably reduces your carbon footprint. This first gesture added to the electric van approach allows you to kill two birds with one stone!
Gentle discoveries: ecological walks and circuits
Travellers often opt for low environmental impact explorations. From electric bike tours winding through vineyards to walking tours, each itinerary offers total immersion in and respect for nature. Dedicated apps provide itineraries for low-carbon holidays in France, enabling visitors to discover the country while reducing their carbon footprint. Check out GeoVello and Withlocals!
With an electric van, your impact on the environment is minimised. Greenhouse gas emissions are considerably reduced, improving air quality, reducing dependence on fossil fuels, promoting energy efficiency, and contributing to the transition to sustainable mobility, thereby supporting the fight against climate change. Isn’t that nice!
Experience total immersion with the locals and their traditions
Low-carbon initiatives encourage slow travel, a concept that aims to take one’s time and immerse oneself in the culture of the place in which one is travelling. This makes it easier to interact with the local community. Meetings with artisans, wine tastings and visits to producers offer authentic experiences while supporting the local economy.
In our low-carbon holidays in France, we offer you typical activities such as surfing or hiking, but also tastings on the cheese route or a spa session! At The Family Van, we make sure that we operate a short circuit to offer you the most authentic experience possible.
When ecological awareness goes hand in hand with longer-term travel
Accommodation, restaurants and tourist attractions are awarded ecological certifications and labels recognising their commitment to sustainable tourism. These labels help travellers to make informed choices and support environmentally-friendly players in the sector. You can find a list of these labels here.
With our electric vans, the destinations are endless! You just have to take your time! But that’s what you do when you opt for vanlife, isn’t it?
