OUR ECO ACTIONS (among others…)

We are committed to minimizing our impact on nature as much as possible while providing you with a 100% enjoyable vacation! Here are some actions we have implemented:

– Focused on calm and tranquility, our grounds are vehicle- free
– Waste management: sorting and composting on-site
– Conscious management of water and electricity
– Dividers between the pitches made of branches = recycling and a refuge for insects and small wildlife
– No use of chemical products, either for cleaning or for green spaces
– Planting of local species that are low in water consumption
– Reasoned mowing for the preservation of microfauna (our 3 donkeys are part of it ;))
– Free Wi-Fi hotspot available only at the reception to contribute to your “disconnection” once you are settled in
– Charging station for electric vehicles
– 100% green energy supplier
You are invited to participate and contribute in your own way! For example, do not buy bottled water; we have very good spring water – a water bottle is enough!

Nina and Yvan

Nina Théaudin, quadrilingual (German, French, English and Spanish). Born in Germany where she spends her childhood, she grows up in South America.

Having met Yvan in Nepal, they decide to create together a welcome spot in the mountains in the South of France having finished her training “Heilpraktiker”(naturopath) in Germany.
In 2002 she follows a training course creator of touristic structure in rural areas at CFPPA de Carmejane in order to polish up and concretize the idea of a tourist welcome project.

She is in charge of your well being at the Mandala and managing the campsite.

Yvan Théaudin, graduated mountain guide since 1999, is approved by Géoparc de Haute Provence but works on several territories (Corsica, Pyrenees, Alps, Nepal, India, Mongolia and others).

He fluently speaks French, English and German. He organises all types of journeys, and is particularly specialised in « well being » stays and above all Hiking-Yoga which combines hiking and daily yoga excercises.
Frequent traveler since always, Yvan has become a « Journey craftsman » and works on request by gladly adapting the programm according to the candidate person’s or the group’s wishes at first.

He will let you enjoy each stay like a real journey full of discoveries of the world around you. It will always be an occasion to open to yourselves and to the others.

A little bit
of history…

We are settled since 2002 in the valley of Prads Haute-Bléone which seemed as an evidence to us. This place exactly corresponds to the place we we were looking for to develop our tourist activity.

From the very beginning, we wished to link nature and comfort with a warm human atmosphere.

Our Campsite Mandala is born thus naturally in the month of July 2008 after big team works in a happy atmosphere… And that is important!

Nature is offered to us, but comfort is the fruit of a long work. This is the way we are always trying to improve and to welcome you in best conditions since the opening of our campsite.

Nature, peace and mountain lovers, we have created this space for you!

You will feel the power of environment in a friendly atmosphere which respects the intimacy of each and favors encounters.

These life values on which we are very keen can only show by respect of environment and human’s health. Ecology, a priority, holds a central place in our development choices. We are actually part of the VIA NATURA and engaged on the way developping and transmitting the values of a tourism and holidays in harmony with the environnement and other humans. Let’s make your stay here unforgettable and responsible!
