Candeloup is as "green" as we can make it. Climate control is "aerothermic" with systems supplied by France Geothermie. Our "waste" systems which are unique in this part of France, and were installed after much design work with the local water authorities, use a combination of very advanced fosse septiques and peat filters developed in Canada. Hot water is produced with solar panels supplied by Sonnenkraft. (Cloudy day "backup" is provided by our "Aerothermic" system.) Our kitchen gardens, which provide much of our vegetables, are watered from our 3000 litre rainwater tanks and our own well.
