Between vineyards and hospitality

Posted on by Jocelyn

Portrait of Guillaume Sévellec – ©Sébastien Billant

It’s the smallest appellation between Pomerol and Saint-Émilion: the Graves de Vayres offers an ideal terroir between sea and countryside, according to Guillaume Sévellec, Chairman and CEO of Château Fage, a 4-star address inaugurated two years ago. Just over three years of work were enough to transform 12,000 m² of vineyards and ruined buildings into a complete site – vineyard, brasserie, hotel – at the instigation of winegrower Yves Glotin, who initially simply wanted to increase the size of his vineyard. With the exception of the manor house and three dovecotes, all the ruined buildings have been redesigned and refurbished to create an inspiring, intimate and well-considered venue. With just 26 keys, the aim here is to offer a personalised welcome and to embrace slow tourism. There’s no reception area, just a large lounge and a first meeting with the ‘lady of the house’, an opportunity to go into more detail together about what you’re looking for long before you arrive.

In the style of an informal concierge service, the best of the region and local activities are on offer: cycling through the vineyards, tastings, cookery classes, yoga in the heart of nature… Reconnecting with the outside world and the character of the terroir anchor the stay, even in the rooms, whose colour palettes reflect those of the different grape varieties. Garnet and straw yellow are complemented by the omnipresent wood, cork and solid oak flooring.

Over and above the commitment on all levels – no fossil fuels used, photovoltaic panels on the roofs, reduction of plastics, recycling of waste, compost, micro-filtered water, etc. – it is the spirit of a family home that prevails at Château Fage. With friendly service, a certain spontaneity of exchange, links that are forged at a safe distance, a relaxed dress code – linen shirts, chinos and shoes made from recycled grape marc. The brasserie has the same easy-going spirit, with a family atmosphere and traditional dishes for lunch: mimosa eggs, calf’s head, minestrone, braised beef cheek… In the evening, the menu is more bistronomic but just as comforting, with straightforward tastes and concentrated juices.

Definitely epicurean, the restaurant naturally favours food and wine pairings and is unique in that it serves no fewer than 16 wines by the glass, including grands crus. ‘ The sophistication here is hidden in the details, the ultra-personalised offer and, ultimately, just the desire to please,’ sums up Guillaume Sévellec.

A chef with a passion: (re)discover lentils with François Gagnaire…

Posted on by Giorgia

By Laurence Gounel

« This product, which is part of the identity of my region, is still often associated with memories of canteens or the army… yet it is a simple product which, when well prepared, brings great finesse and which, in my opinion, derives its nobility from its versatility. »

François Gagnaire

Lentils are just as natural on family tables as they are on Michelin-starred ones. Easy to use, it can be used all year round and its neutrality offers a wide range of possibilities.

Chef François Gagnaire’s secret to twisting its roundness? Star anise, which adds a lovely freshness. But the chef’s audacity comes in three ‘ways’: as grains, when it is served at Anicia ‘s as lentil caviar (in a caviar tin) with a carp crumble worked with mascarpone, fresh ginger, lime and dill; as flour, to make ’homemade’ blinis, galettes and breads; as a purée, when it is blended until it forms the famous lentil pulp that makes a bavaroise (on which a crumble is placed that resembles the volcanic earth that gives it its name), a velouté or to create desserts such as a crème brûlée, a lentil and blueberry tart or a frangipane cake to celebrate the kings.

Responsible tourism: becoming an informed traveller

Posted on by Virginia Giglio

What is Responsible Tourism?

Responsible tourism is a form of travel that aims to preserve the planet and its people. Contrary to popular belief, being a responsible traveller isn’t just about reducing your carbon footprint, it also means travelling in ways that protect ecosystems and support local communities. This approach emphasises long-term sustainability, both environmental and social. Here are some of its core principles:

Respect for the environment

Responsible tourism takes into account the environmental impact of every trip. This means reducing energy consumption, minimising waste, and choosing low-emission transport options such as cycling, trains, carpooling, or public transport. It also involves selecting eco-friendly accommodation, like the houses in the Teritoria community, which share the same vision of sustainable tourism. In practical terms, they are committed to reducing their footprint, notably by calculating the carbon impact of their activities using the Clorofil calculator.

Respect for local cultures

Respect for local cultures and traditions is a key pillar of responsible tourism. Travellers are encouraged to learn about local customs, engage respectfully with residents, and support the local economy by buying regional products. Choosing establishments that are deeply rooted in their communities also fosters meaningful encounters, cultural exchange, and openness to others. The properties selected by Teritoria embody the identity of those who bring them to life, offering a form of hospitality that is both authentic and committed.

Positive contribution to local communities

Responsible tourism also seeks to improve the lives of local communities by creating sustainable economic opportunities. This includes promoting local employment, supporting community projects, and helping to preserve cultural and natural heritage.

Types of Responsible Tourism

Responsible tourism can take many forms, and you don’t have to choose just one. You can embrace them all in your travels!

Local tourism

Local tourism supports environmental preservation by favouring nearby destinations and reducing the need for air travel. It also boosts the local economy by encouraging spending in small businesses and regional services.

Low-carbon tourism

Low-carbon tourism means choosing the most climate-friendly modes of transport, avoiding cruises and destinations accessible only by plane. This helps you stay within your annual carbon budget. It also involves limiting car use and favouring low-emission alternatives such as trains and bicycles.

Slow tourism

Slow tourism is about choosing to travel at your own pace, rediscovering the diversity of landscapes, local heritage, history, culture, and gastronomy. Far from mass tourism, Teritoria invites you to step away from the crowds. Each hotelier and restaurateur in our guide shares a story of their own: a commitment to authenticity and hospitality that makes every experience unique.

Eco-tourism

Ecotourism places nature at the centre of the travel experience, encouraging observation and discovery in natural areas. This form of responsible tourism includes environmental education, but also calls for avoiding overcrowded sites to help protect fragile ecosystems.

How to be a responsible tourist?

Now that we’ve explored the many facets of responsible tourism, here are a few tips to help you become a model traveller:

Do your homework before you travel

Before you travel, take time to learn about your destination and its sustainability practices. Look for eco-friendly accommodation, local businesses engaged in sustainable initiatives, and organisations that promote responsible tourism. Teritoria’s guide helps you choose places that share your values, curiosity, attentiveness, and a deep connection to place.

Be aware of your impact

Be mindful of how your actions affect the environment and local communities. Avoid waste, limit your water and energy use, follow environmental guidelines, and support local businesses!

Encourage the use of eco-friendly transport

Whenever possible, choose public transport, trains, cycling, walking, or carpooling. Try to reduce long-haul flights, and when flying is necessary, offset your carbon emissions — for example, by supporting environmental projects through NGOs or associations, such as tree planting or solar panel installation.

Respect the local culture

Learn a few words of the local language, respect customs and traditions, and approach each destination with curiosity and respect. If you visit places of worship, follow any specific rules — such as removing your shoes or wearing appropriate clothing. And wherever you are, always ask permission before taking someone’s photo!

Conclusion

By following these principles and showing respect for the planet and its people, we can all contribute to promoting more responsible and ethical tourism. Teritoria is committed to a form of tourism that highlights our regions, connects visitors with local communities, celebrates regional flavours, and offers authentic experiences, all in a sustainable way.

Winter Fruits and Vegetables: Your Seasonal Calendar

Posted on by Virginia Giglio

Seasonal eating plays many roles. By choosing to eat foods according to their natural harvesting period, we adopt a behavior that limits the distances that products travel, reduces the energy required for their production and supports sustainable, local farming practices. This approach not only helps lower our carbon footprint but also preserves local biodiversity, contributing to the protection of our environment. While seasonal cooking undoubtedly delights our taste buds, whether prepared at home or by renowned chefs, it primarily reflects a commitment to the environment.

La montagne selon Omar

L’hôtelier franco-libanais Omar Abodib, déjà propriétaire du Donjon-Domaine Saint Clair à Étretat, a inauguré une adresse skis aux pieds à Saint-Sorlin-d’Arves, au cœur du domaine skiable des Sybelles, en Savoie.

Par Laurence Gounel

article omar en coulisse

L’histoire est d’abord celle d’un rêve de petite fille. Celui de l’épouse d’Omar, qui rêve depuis longtemps d’un chalet à la montagne. Son vœu est exaucé pendant la crise sanitaire et une opportunité en dévoilant une autre, un hôtel familial est à vendre dans ce même village préservé de la vallée de la Maurienne. Un établissement construit en 1969 et tenu par la seconde génération qui l’exploite « dans son jus ». Omar saisit cette chance de poursuivre une histoire d’hôteliers indépen- dants – critère qui lui est cher – dans un village aux traditions fortes et au terroir bien vivant. Propriétaire des lieux deux mois avant le début de la saison, c’est d’abord le salon qui est entièrement revu et corrigé pour l’ouverture en décembre 2021. « Une priorité car ici, le fil conducteur demeure la convi- vialité. L’idée n’est pas de rester dans sa chambre mais bien de profiter du feu de cheminée et des apéritifs qui s’éternisent. C’est toute l’atmosphère d’une maison de famille que je veux cultiver à la montagne. » Un fil rouge qui prend tout son sens avec la vision de l’hospitalité chic et conviviale qu’affiche déjà Omar au Donjon à Étretat.

D’ailleurs, l’esprit « un pied à la mer, un pied à la montagne » a séduit les plus fidèles qui sont désor- mais clients des deux, car c’est un état d’esprit qu’ils viennent chercher dans ce 3 étoiles savoyard au confort décontracté… Si les 32 chambres avec balcons et vue – dont 4 suites et 2 duplex pour cette nouvelle saison – ont gagné en lumière, literie haut de gamme et une salle de bains contemporaine, l’hôtel cultive cette image vintage du ski des années 1970, décomplexée et joyeuse jusque sur les pistes. « Cette atmosphère chaleureuse – qui me semble naturelle en montagne – me permet d’être encore plus dans l’échange et la spontanéité avec mes clients. Et c’est pour cela que je prends autant de plaisir à faire ce métier. La vue exceptionnelle, l’exigence du confort et le souci du détail n’empêchent pas de cultiver un relationnel fort. » Même sens du joyeux tous les jeudis soir avec une soirée libanaise et des mezzés à partager, tandis que le restaurant valorise les autres soirs une carte courte et travaillée. Jacuzzi, hammam et sauna privatifs, spa avec deux cabines… Rien ne manque à ce chalet au charme vintage qui se veut être un vrai rendez-vous.
