Sustainable tourism
An ecological ambition worthy of the Château
Our ambition is to make Château La Tour Apollinaire a benchmark for five-star eco-tourism. We manage the estate and our hospitality services based on the principles of sustainable development, offering an exceptional and eco-friendly experience to our guests.
Sustainability
Concrete action for the future
Château La Tour Apollinaire proudly sponsors Regenovation, an initiative that up-cycles agricultural wastes into biochar, drinking water and renewable energy through micro-factories. By 2035, the program aims to develop circular solutions in vulnerable regions, reducing CO2 by 10 to 20 Million tonnes while prioritising the regeneration of soil and ecosystems.

A living garden all year round
The Château’s gardens gather a vast diversity of local and exotic plants, including century-old
Washingtonia palms, cycads, bougainvillea, olive, pomegranate, and orange trees, along with
numerous varieties of roses. Some of these palm trees have grown naturally over time, adding to
the estate’s authentic, lush charm.

The zen pond
A serene haven
The estate’s pond, enlivened with a zen waterfall, is home to beautiful goldfish.The surrounding grounds, once overgrown with wild bamboo, have been restored with the help of pygmy goats. This area will soon welcome a rose garden, a pétanque court, a vegetable garden, and a spa.
Building
Naturally efficient architecture
Built from solid stone with load-bearing walls roughly 50 cm thick, the Château features excellent
thermal inertia. Reinforced insulation in the roofing, between floors, and within interior wall,
combined with double-glazed windows and low-energy reversible air conditioning, ensures
optimal comfort throughout the year, all while preserving the authentic character of its historic
stone architecture.
