New eco-spa to open in Brittany

Yves Rocher has selected a site on the hills surrounding the small town of La Gacilly for its first eco-spa to open in April, according to brittanytourism.com.

It claims that the venue will only use vegetable-based treatments developed in the Yves Rocher Botanical Garden, while the building blends in with the stunning surrounding countryside and birdlife reserve.

Eco-friendly features include "vegetated parking lots established in the middle of fruit trees and flowers", a rainwater recuperation system on the roof and a "self-sufficient cleaning basin to filter and treat the sewage from the hotel".

Having a car is essential in Brittany to explore the vast rural areas of the region and a trip to La Gacilly could be just the ticket for those who wish to relax in a natural way, while exploring its natural wonders.
