Slow travel invites you to be more eco-responsible and sensitive to the environment by enjoying the luxury of taking your time!
Have you ever heard of «slow travel», «slow voyage» or «slow tourism»? In today's fast-paced society, some people feel the need to slow down, to take time to savor life, to realize where they are and what they really want.
The principle of slow travel
The principle of slow travel is part of the «slow» movement, which consists in appreciating what we do, what we eat and how we travel. The idea is to travel more slowly, riding the wave of a global movement that invites people to slow down their pace of life to counteract the daily stress caused by this culture of instantaneity.
The Slow trend is in some ways a return to our roots and a certain voluntary simplicity, in order to better understand the realities of the world, the people and the environment around us.
Slow travel = responsible travel
Slow travel is all about responsible travel. Whether you're heading to the other side of the world or choosing to discover the Brittany, The idea remains the same: to limit our ecological footprint and respect the territories that welcome us. Slow travel means taking your vacation more slowly, which implies a tranquil, zen-like state of mind. By having the time, we allow ourselves to use less polluting means of transport that are more beneficial to the local economy. By opting for public transport or, even better, walking, cycling or boating, we consider that travel is an integral part of the trip and should be appreciated as much, if not more, than the final destination itself.
Slow travel means taking the time to savor the moment and stop chasing after every tourist site. It means choosing to discover a place in greater depth, for example in Southern Brittany, in the Morbihan region, at one of our Naéco establishments. Erdeven and Naéco Le Pouldu, or in Finistère at Audierne. Slow travel is a way of rediscovering the meaning of travel, of giving another dimension to your vacation... Responsible travel can also go further and become a solidarity trip, inviting you to take part in a local project.
