A project that creates value for the La Gacilly area of Bretagne, and for its communities.
From the start, we have always innovated with the greatest respect for nature. Today, with the inauguration of La Bergerie Yves Rocher, a local project at La Gacilly and a place for housing and coming together with positive social, societal and environmental impacts, we contribute to creating social ties while favouring the local economy.
Favouring access to housing
The primary mission of La Bergerie is to offer a flexible and accessible housing solution for mobile young workers in our area.
This project, which is our commitment to them, addresses a challenge that affects all local players: a local economic development lever, an employment-housing link, facilitating recruitment and access to work. Whether trainees, apprentices, temporary-contract or seasonal workers, we have 27 furnished rooms available for them at €70 per week. Low-cost accommodation that is ideal when starting work in the region.
La Bergerie, an eco-designed place
To create this place of a new kind, we have renovated a 1450 m2 nursing home and its grounds using bio-sourced and eco-labelled materials.
La Bergerie Yves Rocher is a neo-rural project open to everyone, of all generations, offering a sustainable-life experience. Renewable energy, rainwater harvesting, local foods, getting around by bicycle, recycling… Our eco-place, member of 1% for the Planet, patron of the Yves Rocher Foundation and partner of the French League for the Protection of Birds, reflects our values of ecology and innovation.
Promoting responsible cuisine
We know that eating local and seasonal foods is essential for both our health and that of the planet.
That is why we have developed culinary workshops led by chefs who are happy to share their know-how for seasonal, natural and local cuisine with access to the La Bergerie organic kitchen garden, encouraging the participants to re-embrace cooking for themselves.
Supporting committed art
For us, art is also a commitment. Exhibitions, collaborations, performances, workshops, conferences… La Bergerie offers cultural and artistic programming, hosting within its valley the La Gacilly Photo Festival, an unmissable annual event.
At La Bergerie we also welcome companies to 'think differently'. People come here to re-energise, work differently, get away from it all, explore, cook, contemplate, share. Offering new ways of acting and living together, eliciting contacts with the land and its living creatures.
The grounds, a plant agora and the forest are close by. An experience of – and an immersion in – Nature. Here we reconnect all generations with Nature for a more sustainable world.
