Philosophy & sustainability

With the constant desire to evolve without ever imposing itself, Terre Blanche has been built on a set of measures aimed at minimising its impact on the environment, while developing biodiversity within its extraordinary ecosystem.

More than just a commercial concept, Terre Blanche is the product of a true life philosophy. The resort not only respects the environment, but also takes on a major social and economic dimension in its beautiful region.

GEO and "Silver" Label Certified. This commitment began 15 years ago and is reflected today in the GEO© Certification awarded to Terre Blanche in 2016 and the “Silver Label” awarded by the French Golf Federation as part of the Golf Programme for Biodiversity.

Terre Blanche is the story of a development inspired by a passion and a desire to share it with others without disturbing the fragile balance of nature. Prior to any work on the site, Terre Blanche conducted a phytosociological study of the site in order to identify the aquatic and wet habitats, temporary Mediterranean ponds and forest populations to define the conservation issues of the natural habitats and the rare species to be protected. These studies have made it possible to define a sustainable approach to maintain a balance between the project's commercial objectives and the preservation, or even positive development, of existing biological diversity.

Grasse, the international fragrance capital, also offers a wealth of culinary treats. Take Maison Duplanteur, for example, which is an essential stop-off you won't want to miss. Niched in a narrow cobblestone street right in the heart of the old town, the beautiful shop window hints at the delicious creations within: from the impressive chocolate waterfall to the vast selection of chocolate pieces and bars, it’s impossible to resist!

When you enter this temple of temptation, the first thing to hit you is the powerful aroma of cocoa: both warm and slightly tart, it sometimes takes visitors by surprise. But you'll have no time to muse on this bewitching scent, as you are immediately welcomed in to the shop and invited to taste the Maison's signature creation: a chocolate whose balance of flavours and powerful “heart note” are both unique and unforgettable.

  • A rare and traditional art. Glass-blowing is a traditional art form dating from several centuries BC. This technique allows the artisan to mould glass into different shapes, creating objects which are both of practical value and works of art. The tradition of glass-blowing in Provence dates back thousands of years, but it was given a new lease of life in 1956 with the invention of bubbled glass in Biot. It was in Biot that Arnold spent 8 years learning the ropes before he became a master glass maker. He then set himself up in one of the Var's last remaining traditional glass works, in the village of Montauroux, and thus, this master craftsman became master of his own destiny. The glass works in Montauroux were established in 1974. Arnold took over in 2006 after the retirement of the former glass maker. Today, he continues to use the famous bubbled glass technique.

The wines of Provence are well known abroad during the Middle Ages, and were among the favourite wines of the French kings. In 1977, they were awarded the “Appellation d’Origine Controlée” classification. The “Côtes de Provence” wines have the innate sophistication of all the best wines: they are subtle enough to accompany the most delicate dishes such as truffle or lobster, yet they are also robust enough to underline the wide range of the Provencal cuisine flavours.

  • The Confiserie Florian. Undoubtedly one of the region’s must-visit sites, Confiserie Florian in the Gorges du Loup specialises in producing sweets and chocolates using traditional techniques and tools, and is dedicated to local produce.

It was only in 1949 that the first confectionery shop opened in the Gorges du Loup.
  • A timeless sheep farm. Daniel Marin is a man with a shepherd’s soul and a heart devoted to cheese making. He’ll be sure to introduce you to his passion for flavour and good food.

This quiet and industrious young local has worked tirelessly to build up this business, which could almost be the fruit of the labour of many generations. But Daniel started his business just a year ago, armed with only the experience he had gained on the family's wine estate and, more importantly, a great passion for sheep cheese. Now, his herd consists of around a hundred sheep raised in the tranquillity of a farm covering several hectares, far off the beaten track.

  • Breaking the mould.The Marin family's expertise has been passed down through several generations of wine-growers. Young Daniel set himself apart with his willingness to innovate and to break free from a future which seemed set in stone. Daniel has acquired extensive knowledge about nature and environmental issues, from fire safety to forestry, whilst remaining focused on his goal for the future. All the hard work has paid off. Thanks to his farming experience, he and his wife are now building up a business with a bright future, which has already received the seal of approval from peers and, especially, their customers!
  • Award-winning cheeses. At last year’s Brignoles agricultural show, Daniel won a Silver Medal for three of his delicious products: brousse (a white lumpy whey cheese), yoghurt and broussin (a strong and piquant fromage fort). Not a bad effort for such a new business!

The Ferme des Claux enjoys a fine reputation in the Pays de Fayence. Its cheeses and dairy produce are now musts for anyone with a taste for sheep cheese.

Daniel offers a wide variety of produce: from the fresh faisselle (unsalted curd) and brousse to the subtle yet strong tomme (semi-hard, pressed cheese), all a real treat for your taste buds. You’ll find them in plenty of local restaurants, including the Michelin-starred Faventia.
