When the Arthus-Bertrand<\/strong> family bought this 28-hectare land, classified as a “natural area of ecological, faunistic and floristic interest<\/em>“, they wanted to make it welcoming to wild fauna and flora through various projects.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Guerlain<\/strong> has a very special history with this place since the estate belonged for a long time to the founding family of the House. Today, it is becoming a sponsor of this place on the occasion of the 15th anniversary of Guerlain’s commitments “In the name of beauty<\/em>“.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Association de la Vall\u00e9e de la Milli\u00e8re<\/strong> has partnered with the University of Saclay<\/strong> (Systematic Evolution Ecology Laboratory<\/strong>) and the Regional Natural Park<\/strong> of the Haute Vall\u00e9e de Chevreuse<\/strong>, to welcome researchers who will work on reducing the human impact on ecosystems.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n “I have succeeded in fulfilling a dream: to acquire an extraordinary estate of 30 hectares that I have known since I was a child. The idea is to give freedom to nature, to have no more human intervention and to study how nature takes back its rights. There is a utopian side to it but it is also exciting. Insects, foxes, badgers, large animals will be able to reclaim their own habitat. How I would love to walk in the forest and not have the animals be afraid of me. That they find this natural confidence which they lost in the Man<\/em> ” declared Yann Arthus-Bertrand<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n With the help of Thierry Wasser<\/strong>, the House’s Master Perfumer, Guerlain aims to experiment with new regenerative agricultural practices on this site, in order to study their implementation on a larger scale with the House’s raw material producers and thus contribute to the LVMH<\/strong> Group’s LIFE 360<\/strong> objectives.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Starting in 2023, the site is expected to host small groups to inform and educate them about the environmental issues of the 21st century.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
