Always so happy to offer you our best service everyday and delighted to know that you are satisfied during your visits, we wish to continue to develop our house by offering you new services.

Indeed it is the LAST pineapple/plane purchased by la Tonnellerie … its carbon footprint is catastrophic. Transport of ONE pineapple = 2 liters of kerosene or a television that is on 24 hours a day for more than a week…. as if we were going over 30km by car to buy ONE pineapple. We go […]
March/April, months of transition in the surrounding vegetable fields. The winter vegetables have disappeared and only a few vegetables are taking over for the moment. It takes patience for Eric, Laurene, Stéphane, Laurent or Nicolas, our local vegetable gardeners (mostly organic) to offer us their new products! To respect the seasons of our region is […]
From now on, following our (insistent) request, our laundry service provider takes back the plastic packaging.

At first, the fruit producers who pamper their fruits (most of the time organic)… Eric, Laurene, Laurent, Jacqueline, Arnaud, Stéphane… Locally sourced fruits and usualy bought directly from the producer… Then, the preparation of these fruits … Nicolas, […]

To be coherent with our ethical values and for your well-being when you stay here, we wish to limit purchases to the big marks of the food-processing industry.
