Our commitments to sustainable tourism in Drôme Provençale
The Domaine du Colombier is committed to reducing its environmental impact as much as possible, every day and in every activity. The entire team is involved in this eco-responsible, sustainable, ecological and social approach. This ethic is embodied in every collaboration with our local and regional suppliers, as well as in our permaculture vegetable garden in Liby, our beehives, our hundred-year-old olive trees and our aromatic herb garden in Malataverne.
This ethical approach applies equally to the sourcing of our products - a guarantee of quality taste, respect for seasonality and freshness - and to the well-being of our employees, for whom we ensure fulfilling and respectful working conditions. Our circular approach creates a veritable virtuous circle: from the vegetable garden to the plate, then from the plate to the compost that returns to nourish the earth - a system where nothing is lost, everything is transformed. With one ambition: to satisfy the taste buds and create culinary emotions!
Committed to this environmental approach, the Domaine du Colombier restaurant in Malataverne is proud to have been awarded the Ecotable label, which recognizes sustainable catering establishments. This label recognizes our efforts to offer eco-responsible gastronomy, in compliance with strict ecological criteria. We invite you to discover our Ecotable charter, a symbol of our determination to make sustainable tourism a priority.
At Domaine du Colombier, you don't just come for a bed or a meal. We come to find ourselves, to slow down time and savor the present moment in an exceptional setting in the Drôme Provençale. Our centuries-old bastide continues to write its history through those who stay here, perpetuating the spirit of hospitality that has animated it since the 14th century.
