Our shared vegetable garden
Our shared permaculture vegetable garden is in the centre of our eco-friendly campsite.
Permaculture is an approach to agriculture based on the principles of sustainable development and respect of both biodiversity and humans. It aims to imitate the design of natural ecosystems.
The harvests from the garden are available at reception with open pricing: you pay what seems right to you!
Camping du Mettey also has a keyhole garden for herbs. This small, high-yield garden is self-fertile and requires little water. Its name comes from its shape, a raised bed with a keyhole-shaped indentation so gardeners can reach the centre. This type of garden uses the positive effects of borders, creating microclimates that favour biodiversity and the different plants. It also has a built-in composter in the centre of the circle to keep the soil fertile. Composting promotes exchanges between the composted matter and the substrate that surrounds it. Worms and other decomposers can move freely between the central composter and the substrate, spreading nutrients throughout the keyhole garden in a slow and harmonious way.
In 2022, we built a walipini at Camping du Mettey! This underground greenhouse passively and naturally absorbs the heat of the sun and the earth to grow fresh fruits and vegetables naturally all year round! The crops are kept at a constant temperature (between 10 and 15°C, even in winter, and are protected from the external elements.
Our grocery store
The Vosges Mountains are home to lots of surprising specialties, and you’ll find a nice selection at the eco-campsite’s grocery store!
All the products are made by local producers, respecting ancestral traditions and regional know-how.
Discover the gastronomy of our mountains at the grocery store and stock up on diverse and original flavours.
We have plenty of Vosges specialties and quality, local products for you to choose from.
Please note: in July and August, we also sell bread and croissants (by pre-order).
La serre walipini
Le walipini est une technique de culture qui utilise l’énergie thermique et solaire. C’est une technique efficace pour faire pousser des plantes dans des environnements hostiles.
Une fois le walipini creusé dans le sol, il est recouvert d’un revêtement translucide pour capter un maximum de lumière et la diriger vers les cultures en contrebas. Certes, les cultures sont moins exposées à la lumière que les serres traditionnelles aux murs et toits translucides, mais l’inertie thermique est bien meilleure et les écarts de température sont moindres.
La Terre est thermiquement stable, c’est-à-dire qu’à une profondeur donnée, il y a peu ou pas de changement de température quelle que soit la température extérieure. Dans la grotte, la température est toujours comprise entre 12 et 14°C même si en extérieur il fait 35°C ou -15°C. La géothermie, l’énergie contenue dans le sol peut ainsi être utilisée pour faire pousser des plantes.
Autre avantage : en raison de l’inertie thermique de la Terre, elle capte la chaleur des rayons solaires et de l’atmosphère et la stocke pour la libérer lorsque le temps se refroidit. C’est pourquoi la construction de ce type de serre souterraine est si intéressante.

Together, let’s give books a second life and limit our waste, while promoting exchanges, curiosity, and above all open-mindedness.
