The national brand “Regional Natural Park Values” renewed in 2016 aims to introduce consumers to quality products and services that promote artisans, businesses and service providers located in a Regional Natural Park. Everyone is committed to a collective and united approach, guaranteeing structuring effects in favor of sustainable development.
To benefit from the brand and thus better market their productions, voluntary structures are committed to preserving the environment, the well-being of residents and the local economy. They can rely on the regional natural park teams to promote the natural and cultural resources specific to each territory. The “Regional Natural Park Values” brand was registered with the INPI by the French State at the request of the Federation of Regional Natural Parks of France.
In the northern Vosges, seven specifications have been developed: fruits, vegetables, plants and derived products – products from beekeeping – educational services – accommodation/catering – mineral and spring water – herbivorous breeding and processed products – sandstone of the Vosges. Producers and service providers from the northern Vosges positioned on these themes are invited to apply to be awarded the brand. Each year, following audits carried out on applicants, the local commission meets to award the brand.
The Alsace Verte Tourist Office, in collaboration with the Vosges du Nord Regional Natural Park, is involved in this approach. Already more than 50 have been labeled as a Park destination.
