Small scale, big care
At Petits Éléments, sustainability starts in their own garden. Most vegetables are grown on-site, with nearby producers filling the gaps, while meat and cheese come from neighbouring farms. Drinks are largely house-made—kombucha, kefir, lemonade and ginger beer—complemented by local beers and wines from independent French producers. Compost returns to the garden, a water system allows leftover service water to be reused for irrigation, and biomass heating keeps energy use low. Behind the scenes, a small team enjoys yoga sessions and annual teambuilding, keeping the rhythm as balanced as the flavours on the plate.
