Brittany's moorlands are where the Yves Rocher story began: this is where it is written, where the action is set and where the story continues to unfold, here in this unique ecosystem.
In La Gacilly, nature is beneficial and soothing, and is a daily source of inspiration to the Yves Rocher business: discover the Botanical Garden, the number one plant supply source, and the production facilities, with their twin focus on excellence of quality, and social and environmental responsibility.
On the hillside above La Gacilly, the Yves Rocher Botanical Garden invites you on a sensory journey into the heart of the plant world, to the source of the Yves Rocher expertise.
It's an open-air laboratory, a natural space where 150 expert researchers into Botanical Beauty can study special qualities of plants.
Between the bamboo park and the paths in the French-style formal gardens, feast your eyes on the plants that are emblematic of the Yves Rocher Brand – such as marigolds, chamomile and cornflowers – and discover unique collections: plants from Yves Rocher's international plant resources, including mugwort and scented geraniums.
A haven of biodiversity, the two hectares of the Yves Rocher Botanical Garden are currently home to some 1,500 plant species, including around a hundred threatened or endangered species.
A treasure trove that you can discover either on a self-guided visit, or on one of our themed guided tours that are run from June to September.
Guided tours, workshops, meetings, events and a few nods to the La Gacilly Festival of Photography: from June to September, when the Botanical Garden dons its finest colours, scents and textures to tell you about the plant world.
These guided tours, led by an Yves Rocher expert, will let you into the secrets of the many protected, valuable plant species that were starting point and the inspiration for Yves Rocher products.
Cultivated on 55 hectares of organic fields, in La Gacilly, our iconic plants are harvested after an exclusive, environmentally-friendly production cycle, in symbiosis with biodiversity. By taking agroecology as its guiding principle, the Agronomics team strikes a harmonious balance between supply constraints, quality of ingredients and the protection of our ecosystems.
In the area around La Gacilly, the three Yves Rocher production sites (Villes-Geffs, Rieux and Ploërmel), which have held bird sanctuary status from France's Birds' Protection League since 2008, are rooted in their environment and committed to protecting the ecosystem.
To the same end, an ambitious initiative to reduce waste, save energy and promote the eco-design of products is being rolled out.
Striking a harmonious balance between profitability and eco-responsibility, these three industrial sites hold triple accreditation: quality, safety and environmental.
