----------

Vert Bordeaux is a tourist agency commited to local and sustainable tourism. Vert Bordeaux integrates the principles of sustainable tourism into its strategic management and the offers it makes.

This translates into internal commitments (ethical banking, eco-designed website, second-hand equipment, printing on recycled paper with vegetable-based inks) and in the design of tours and day trips (local food restaurant, organic winery, no single-use plastic, awareness of local environmental issues) in order to reduce the impact of tourism in Bordeaux and Gironde.

Sustainable commitments

Vert Bordeaux témoigne de ses engagements éco-responsables :
« Vert Bordeaux a pour objectif de devenir la première entreprise d’excursions écoresponsables à Bordeaux et d’être à terme labellisée comme telle. Les différentes excursions proposées seront créées dans cette optique, en choisissant chaque activité et chaque partenaire selon un critère écoresponsable (restaurant locavore et de saison, pique-nique zéro déchet, transport doux, vert ou avec compensation carbone, large place faite à la nature, visites de fermes bio, dégustation de vins natures ou en biodynamie…). Mais au-delà des excursions c’est le fonctionnement de l’entreprise qui sera également écoresponsable, afin d’être cohérent avec son offre d’excursions. Ainsi chaque bien, partenariat ou prestataire sera choisi selon ses engagements environnementaux et sociaux (banque solidaire et éthique, achat de matériel de seconde main notamment électronique, bureaux loués dans des espaces sobres en énergie…) L’idée est bien d’avoir un engagement global de l’entreprise qui lui permette d’impacter positivement le territoire sur lequel elle est établie et d’avoir une identité forte. »

Chateau Coutet and Saint-Emilion

Ann Lambdon 10/17/2022

We had a fantastic trip to Chateau Coutet and Saint-Emilion. Our guide Emmanuel was superb, very knowledgable and informative with a great sense of humour. The winery was beautiful dating back hundreds of years and Saint-Emilion is stunning with amazing architecture. We learnt so much from Emmanuel about the history of the area and would thoroughly recommond Vert Bordeaux. A very professional and friendly service, a truly memorable experience that we will recommend to family and friends.

WORTHWHILE

From the very beginning of booking this tour, Emmanuel was very attentive and responsive. During the tour he was knowledgeable and engaging. I recommend this tour, however, I would have preferred a full day tour (had I been able), to really have the St. Emilion experience.
