Environmental Issues & Commitments
Build less to regenerate more
Yes, we build. Yes, we lay concrete on part of the land. And yes, we give the other part back to nature. No speeches, just numbers.
★ Transparency commitment: This page sets out the reality of where we start, our environmental ambitions and our governance commitments. Figures are target objectives, to be confirmed in detailed studies and validated with planning authorities and partner associations.
1/ Where we start
From farmland to a living mosaic
The project is located on agricultural plots classified as low agronomic value (classes 4 to 6 under the Île-de-France Regional Pedological Reference, RRP-IDF / IGCS), farmed intensively since the post-war era. The soil is depleted, crop rotation is limited, and biodiversity is low (4-season ecological survey conducted by an independent consultancy). The survey detected several protected species of predominantly moderate concern (birds, bats, reptiles, amphibians), unprotected habitats within the meaning of article L.411-1 of the French Environmental Code. At this stage, no high-concern species or wetlands have been identified on the site perimeter. The ERC (Avoid-Reduce-Compensate) approach is integrated from the outset, details in FAQ Q12-Q13.
Our proposal: let this land breathe
On these plots classified as low agronomic value (RRP-IDF / IGCS), the Surfers Village Paris project pursues two inseparable functions: redirect land use towards a structuring sport-health facility (territory classified as a Priority Intervention Zone by the Île-de-France ARS, GP density 89/100,000 vs 138 national average, source DREES), and restore a living ecosystem across at least half the perimeter. This transformation falls within the legal ZAN framework: partial development of agricultural land, calculated according to official Cerema/ZAN methodology (42% gross non-sealed ratio; additional component specified in the planning file).Where there was monoculture, we want a mosaic: landscaped park, green corridor along the adjacent stream and river, ponds, planting, fitness trail, local tree species suited to the Île-de-France climate (English oak, common ash, hornbeam, field maple, heritage fruit trees) fostering a new living balance, wildlife habitats, soils recovering their carbon storage function, a temperate microclimate.A land transformation with a minimised footprint, contained built area, half the perimeter returned to nature.
2/ Land use
12 hectares. 6 given back to nature. Net less than 1% of local agricultural land.
Land deserves numbers, not slogans. Here is what 12 hectares means in real terms, and what it means to give half back to nature.

Decree of 10 June 2025
★ Local UAA data. Host municipality area: 1,030 ha (INSEE Territory Comparator, 2026). Agricultural share of the territory: 90.8% (Corine Land Cover 2018, IGN/Copernicus base), giving an estimated municipal UAA of 900–935 ha. SVP gross 12 ha = 1.3% of UAA. Net after returning 6 ha = 0.7% of UAA. Final figure confirmed at planning permit stage (PLUi agricultural assessment).
Agricultural collective compensation study
In accordance with article L.112-1-3 of the French Rural and Maritime Fishing Code (Decree No. 2016-1190 of 31 August 2016), a preliminary agricultural collective compensation study will be conducted in partnership with the Chamber of Agriculture of the host département. Its precise terms (reduction measures, compensation measures, financial contributions to the agricultural sector) will be determined progressively as the planning application is processed.
The project within the SDRIF-E 2040 envelope
The SDRIF-E "Île-de-France 2040, A New Balance", approved by Decree No. 2025-517 of 10 June 2025 (JORF No. 0135 of 12 June 2025), sets the regional urbanisation trajectory to 2040 in line with ZAN objectives (Climate & Resilience Act No. 2021-1104 of 22 August 2021, Act No. 2023-630 of 20 July 2023 known as "ZAN 2"): a 50% reduction in the pace of land development over 2021–2031, then a trajectory towards zero net land development by 2050. At the regional scale, the SDRIF-E also identifies a strategic Roissy CDG / Marne-la-Vallée corridor in the immediate vicinity of the project.

Of these 12 ha: 42% gross · additional share refined in detailed studies as regenerated green spaces
Compare with 80–90% sealing typical of a standard industrial ZAC.
| Category | Programmatic target | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Regenerated green spaces | ≥ 50% | Landscaped park, green corridor, ponds, meadows, planting, fitness trail, sand beach volleyball, green roofs (50% of non-basin rooftops), permeable planted car parks. |
| Built (roofs + basin) | 35–40% | SurfPark (basin + beach), The Hive (including indoor sports), Health Centre, hotels, residence, The Villas: green and/or solar roofs. |
| Roads & circulation | 10–15% | Perimeter road (integrated pumptrack/BMX loop), internal paths, permeable planted car parks, soft mobility routes. |
Programmatic targets in terms of Effective Developed Surface (calibrated with planning authorities under the applicable Cerema/ZAN nomenclature); green roofs, permeable car parks and semi-natural surfaces are counted as green spaces. Methodological note: the Endless Surf ES42 1.1 engineering plan (WhiteWater, 2024) specifies the basin and technical room footprint (15,000 m², or 12.5% of the Village perimeter). Final breakdown confirmed at planning permit stage on the basis of detailed studies (soil, hydraulics, biodiversity, agricultural).
What we take from depleted farmland, we give back as a living mosaic. That is how Honu takes root on these 6 hectares.
Christophe Bouquin
Complementary ZAN pillar: access via existing infrastructure
0 km of new road. 0 ha of land development for access
Beyond the 50% unsealed surface on the perimeter, the project benefits from a structural environmental advantage: it is already served by existing Île-de-France infrastructure (A1, A104, A3, A4, RN2/RN3, RER B, TGV CDG, LREF 2028). No new roads, no additional interchanges, no new road footprint are needed to accommodate visitor flows. In the ZAN 2050 context: zero additional landscape or ecological fragmentation for access.

3/ Three concrete contributions to the territory
The project aims to give to the territory, not just settle in it.
Protecting downstream municipalities from flooding
Retention basin & water management
Several downstream municipalities regularly experience flooding. The project integrates a retention basin sized to manage not only our own stormwater but also to contribute to upstream peak-flow attenuation in partnership with the territory's hydraulic stakeholders. Volume and hydraulic systems to be confirmed in technical studies.
Produce & insulate locally
Solar & green roofs
The Village's rooftops are intended to be green and/or fitted with photovoltaic panels. Benefits: local energy production, thermal insulation, rooftop stormwater management, biodiversity refuge, urban heat island mitigation. Precise mix and PV share to be confirmed in energy studies.
Strengthening the local ecological network
Green corridor
The project aims to contribute to the strengthening of a territorial landscape green corridor, in line with the SRCE Île-de-France and the SDRIF-E guidelines. Landscape restoration, local tree planting, ecological continuity for wildlife, and soft mobility access for residents.
Further concrete contributions will emerge from dialogue with the relevant bodies. These initial lines set our direction: making Surfers Village Paris an exemplary project for the territory, its residents and future generations.
4/ Environmental steering committee
An open environmental steering committee
Our conviction is simple: a project of this scale must be built with local and regional environmental associations, not against them, and not without them.
Composition
Local & regional environmental associations
Local and regional environmental associations identified for their expertise (biodiversity, water, forest management, sport-health), invited to join the committee progressively. No formal commitment at this stage; names will be communicated as agreements are signed.
Mission
Co-steering impact studies
Terms of reference for studies (ERC, Water, Soil, Energy), the Environmental Section; the 4-season Fauna/Flora survey was completed in autumn 2025; adversarial review of results; formulation of Avoid-Reduce-Compensate measures.
Frequency
Quarterly meetings minimum
Transparent calendar, agenda shared in advance, public minutes. Commitment to publishing all commitments made and tracking their implementation.
Launch
Formation from 2026
First invitations sent as soon as political backing is secured. The committee is expected to form and be present at every stage.
Radical transparency commitment
- Public summaries of the 4-season fauna-flora survey, respecting trade secrets and sensitive species data.
- Annual public reports throughout operations: water, energy, carbon, biodiversity, mobility.
- Minutes of the environmental committee, publicly accessible.
- Detailed response to any public question raised by an association or resident, within 30 days.
5/ Transparency on methods
What is already confirmed, and the methodologies committed to for the next steps
Rather than promising figures we do not yet control, we commit to the reference methodologies we will apply. A commitment of means, not greenwashing.
What has already been studied and confirmed
- 4-season fauna-flora survey conducted by an independent ecological consultancy (completed autumn 2025): several protected species of predominantly moderate concern detected on the perimeter (birds, bats, reptiles, amphibians). Unprotected habitats within the meaning of article L.411-1 of the French Environmental Code. At this stage, no high-concern species identified. ERC approach integrated; L.411-2 derogation to be processed if the impact study confirms the issue.
- Wetlands: no wetlands identified on the perimeter in pedological surveys and the independent ecological assessment.
- Agricultural land of low agronomic value (classes 4 to 6 RRP-IDF / IGCS), farmed intensively since the post-war era.
Methodologies committed to for the next steps
- Water balance, hydraulic study in compliance with the Seine-Normandy SDAGE, supervised by an accredited hydrogeologist. Recycling in operation per Endless Surf technology specifications (target ≥95%). Water results published annually.
- Construction carbon footprint, Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) using ADEME Carbon Base methodology + RE2020 compliance. Audit by an independent certified consultancy. Dated net, zero trajectory published in the planning application.
- Visitor mobility plan, , Travel Plan in compliance with article L.1214-8 of the French Transport Code. Co-built with Île-de-France Mobilités and local authorities. Electric shuttles from CDG/RER under study.
- Urban planning document compatibility, formal demonstration of SDRIF-E + PLUi + ZAN 2030/2050 objectives in the planning permit application, validated by a planning consultancy specialising in low-footprint projects.
- Operational monitoring, environmental KPIs tracked quarterly during operations (water, energy, carbon, biodiversity), published in an annual public environmental report, audited by an independent third party.
Each methodology is implemented in conjunction with the environmental steering committee (see previous section). Results are published on an ongoing basis, over time.
6/ Sensitive questions
Four hard questions, four honest answers
We prefer to ask the critical questions ourselves rather than let them go unanswered. Here are the four we hear most often, with our honest responses.
"A surfpark in Paris, isn't that an ecological indulgence?"
Honest answer: a surfpark does use water and energy. But it replaces tens of thousands of car and plane journeys to the Atlantic coast each year for Île-de-France residents who surf or want to learn. It also pools aquatic infrastructure (rehabilitation, swimming school, sport-health) that would otherwise be built separately elsewhere. The consolidated carbon balance will be published.
"Your green roofs counted in the 50%, what exactly does that mean?"
Straight answer: it is the official Cerema/ZAN nomenclature that treats thick green roofs, permeable planted car parks and sandy surfaces as partially undeveloped land. We apply it rigorously, not generously. Excluding compensations permitted by the Cerema/ZAN methodology (green roofs, permeable car parks, draining sandy surfaces), our gross unsealed ratio is approximately 42%. Including these, which are the official calculation standard, it reaches 50%. Both figures are presented together for transparency, and will be published at permit stage.
"Why not agroecology on this land instead of a property development?"
Straight answer: it is a legitimate question. Agronomic regeneration of class 4–6 soil takes 30 to 50 years and, without a niche economic model, offers no prospect of territorial revitalisation or local job creation. The project proposes, on the half of the perimeter returned to nature, a landscape and ecological regeneration coupled with a social and sporting offer on the other half, with an economic model that finances the transformation. Both options deserve debate, we stand by the one we are pursuing.
"30 villas at over €1M, is that really in the public interest?"
Honest answer: the 30 Pawaii Villas are not the heart of the project, they represent a fraction of the programme (5% of developed floor area). Their economic function is clear: financing shared facilities (Health Centre, The Hive, outdoor facilities, landscaped park, retention basin...) accessible to a wide public via the SVP Membership, hotels, tourist residences and day visits. We don't hide behind the sport-health argument: this is a multi-speed project in terms of use and price, and it needs to balance.
7/ Our target environmental commitments

Estimate at this stage: 19–25,000 m³/year top-up, i.e. 1.15 M m³ cumulative over the 50-year life of the Village. To be validated in detailed technical study.
Perspective. The SurfPark water top-up is estimated at 19 to 25,000 m³/year, or 1.15 million m³ cumulative over the 50-year life of the Village. Here is what that represents, compared to well-known uses.

Orders of magnitude calculated over cumulative operating life (50 years, 1.15 million m³). Estimate to be refined in detailed technical study.
Our commitment
A wave beats a screen.
At the Village opening, baseline commitment: introduce surfing to 1,000 children per year, aged 6 to 14, through school partnerships and solidarity pricing. Initial commitment expected to grow as school agreements and partnerships are actually signed.
At a time when average screen time for 6–17 year-olds exceeds 4 hours a day, even more for teenagers (sources Santé.fr / ARCOM, 2024), we want Surfers Village Paris to be, for as many people as possible, a doorway to something else: water, effort, community, smiles.
General public access guarantee
The SurfPark and all the Village's open sports facilities remain accessible to day visitors every opening day. Membership and ownership tiers unlock dedicated services and time slots, without ever closing access to visitors.
How we fill this volume
The planned filling relies on two sources, neither of which is groundwater:
- Rainwater collected from non-green technical rooftops and sealed roads, directed to retention basins then injected into the basin after pre-filtration. Green roofs and planted surfaces of the Village play their natural role of retention and evapotranspiration; they are not counted in the basin collection.
- Treatment of local surface water resources, with pre-filtration and biological treatment stages (phytoremediation on dedicated areas) before injection into the basin. This second source is part of an ambition to actively contribute to water quality in the territory.
- Sourcing specified in the Water Act file submitted to the DDT, hydraulic study supervised by a qualified hydrogeologist / hydraulic engineer, compliance with SDAGE Seine-Normandy 2022–2027. Maximum rainwater recovery prioritised, extraction from the natural environment minimised.
★ Our principle commitment
Minimise extraction from local resources, and study the possibility of positive contributions to the territory's hydraulic challenges (flood peak attenuation, riverbank biodiversity, phytoremediation). No assertion of a net positive balance will be published until it has been demonstrated by independent study and validated by the authorities.
Methodology, final figures and any demonstration of net positive effects to be published in the environmental impact study submitted to the Environmental Authority (Ae). Commitments transcribed as binding obligations once the study is validated.
Carbon footprint · a lever for reduction, not an alibi
2 kg CO₂ per SurfPark session (excluding travel), based on ADEME 2024 factors.
This order of magnitude is derived from the Endless Surf ES42 model applied to the French electricity mix (20 to 60 g CO₂/kWh depending on source and scope, RTE 2024 Electricity Report: 22 g direct, ADEME Carbon Base life cycle: 50–60 g, updated annually), approximately 1 to 3 kg CO₂ per session, to be confirmed in operations. As a proxy comparison, Wavegarden publishes 1.74 kg CO₂/session for its competing technology. For comparison, 1 hour of solo motorway driving (130 km at ~190 g/km) emits 25 kg CO₂.
The real CO₂ of surfing is in the journey, not the wave.
Comparison of the CO₂ of 1 SurfPark Paris session (2 kg, median of 1–3 kg/session) with alternative surf travel (sources ADEME Carbon Base, ICAO).
2 kg
1 SurfPark Paris session
≈ 2 hours of CO₂ for 1 French person
270 kg
1 return Paris→Biarritz by car (solo)
= 135 sessions ≈ 11 days of CO₂ for 1 French person
225 kg
1 return Paris→Alps by car (ski, solo)
= 110 sessions ≈ 9 days of CO₂ for 1 French person
600 kg
1 return Paris→Morocco by plane (Taghazout)
= 300 sessions ≈ 24 days of CO₂ for 1 French person
3,200 kg
1 return Paris→Bali by plane (Indonesia)
= 1,600 sessions ≈ 4 months of CO₂ for 1 French person
⚠️ Excluding travel to the SurfPark. For an Île-de-France visitor (35 km round trip from central Paris, ADEME 2024 factors), add depending on mode: +0.5 kg by RER B + electric shuttle, +1.7 kg by carpooling (4 people), +7 kg by solo car. Depending on your travel mode, 1 Paris–Bali flight = 360 to 1,280 complete sessions at SurfPark Paris (solo car → RER B + shuttle).
Sources: ADEME Carbon Base (car, flight, electricity mix), ICAO (international flights), RTE. French reference: 9 tCO₂e/year (ADEME 2024).
- Partial carbon substitution, SurfPark Paris is not intended to replace ocean surfing, but to offer a lower-footprint alternative for regular practice, beginners, health programmes and people with disabilities.
- Cumulative carbon balance, our ambition is that the SurfPark's cumulative footprint over its operational life will be lower than the footprint of the surf travel it partially substitutes.
- Transparent solar production, we commit to publishing annually the ratio between our solar output (photovoltaic rooftops on ≥50% of covered surfaces) and our total energy consumption, audited by an accredited independent body (ADEME Carbon Base methodology).
- Soft mobility ≥ 70%, we commit to at least over the coming year to try to 70% of visitors accessing the Village by public transport (RER B + electric CDG↔Village shuttle) or carpooling. Annual monitoring, published in the environmental report, pricing incentives built into the model (reduced membership, carpooling rate, free shuttle from CDG).
Full carbon balance (construction + operations) to be published in the environmental impact study. Electricity supply assumptions: low-carbon French mix (50 to 80 g CO₂/kWh depending on period, ADEME / RTE) + solar self-consumption target (photovoltaic rooftops on ≥50% of covered surfaces).
No contractual commitment at this stage. These target objectives will be converted into binding commitments in the building permit, agreements with local authorities and any environmental certification processes.
8/ Reinforced concrete basin construction
We own the concrete: no premature promises
According to the Endless Surf engineering plan, the basin will require approximately 7,380 m³ of reinforced concrete. It is a concrete structure, like an Olympic pool, a retention basin or a bridge. We own that and include it in our balance sheet.
The SurfPark basin concrete, in perspective
7,380 m³ of reinforced concrete, for the basin alone. Estimated construction carbon footprint: 3,000 to 5,500 tCO₂e depending on cement/steel mix (ADEME Carbon Base + concrete industry FDES).

2 h
of France's production
i.e. 0.02% of French concrete production/year (40 M m³, SNBPE)
⚠️ Scope. The figures above concern only the SurfPark basin (7,380 m³, ES42 plan). The reinforced concrete for the Village's other components (Mahalo/Aloha/Mana hotels, The Hive, WaveCare Health Centre, 30 Pawaii Villas, L'Ohana Residence, roads, car parks) will be specified in the environmental impact study (EIS) and published in the planning permit file. Estimate at this stage: +40,000 to +55,000 m³ additional, to be confirmed in detailed studies.
Sources: ES42 1.1 plan (WhiteWater 2024), INSEE housing, FINA, Syndicat National du Béton Prêt à l'Emploi (SNBPE), ADEME Carbon Base. ES42 note: "estimated values, subject to minor adjustments during detailed design". Also includes 1,354 m² of technical rooms (Mechanical + Electrical Room).
Our approach, without premature contractual promises
- Study the use of low-carbon concrete mixes, based on the structural engineer's recommendations, applicable exposure classes for basins and actual market availability at the time of construction
- Prioritise reinforcing steel from recycled electric arc furnace routes to the extent market availability allows
- Local sourcing within a 200 km radius for concrete (Île-de-France and Picardie ready-mix plants), steel (northern and eastern steelworks) and aggregates, to reduce transport and support the regional industry.
- Conduct a Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) using ADEME Carbon Base methodology, in compliance with RE2020, audit by an independent third-party consultancy & publish the construction carbon balance in the planning permit file
⚠️ We do not commit to a specific percentage of low-carbon concrete until structural studies and market availability have been verified. Any premature promise would be contrary to our transparency principle and might not be kept.
Over the 50-year life of the Village, this construction will account for approximately 30 to 50% of the carbon footprint, the remainder coming from day-to-day use (French electricity mix). The final balance will be audited by an independent third party.
9/ Honu: the commitment that goes beyond the footprint
5 pillars. 6 hectares. One promise: give back
Everything we measure on this page (water, carbon, concrete) finds its meaning in one single ambition: Honu. Not a belated offset, a structuring programme that goes beyond the Village perimeter alone.
Ocean & biodiversity
Here, as in the ocean. Protecting marine ecosystems starts 35 km from Paris.Partnership ambitions to be realised
Water
Depollution, treatment, education. Every visitor becomes an actor. Advanced treatment, education
Energy
Transition, frugality, sobriety. Decoded and experienced. Rooftop PV, ratio published
Social bond
1,000 children/year (6–14), adaptive sport, inclusion. School partnerships, solidarity pricing
Land: The Refuge
6 ha rewilded (50% of the Village). 30-year plan. LPO certification ambition. Land operational arm
The Refuge, at the heart of Honu
30-year management plan (2030–2060), LPO Enterprise Refuge certification process targeted, independent committee (LPO, FNE, ecologist), indicators published each year, educational trail and participatory work camps open to schools and local residents.
We measure what we take. We build what we give back. 35 km from Paris, the ambition is whole.

10/ Regulatory process
The project goes through every stage of French law
No shortcuts. No systematic exemptions. Public consultation and environmental assessment are planned, not avoided.
Environmental impact study
Environmental assessment under article R.122-2 and its annex table of the French Environmental Code (provisions relating to development operations and sports/tourism facilities). Led by an independent consultancy, submitted to the Environmental Authority (Ae) for a public opinion.
Public inquiry & consultation
Prior consultation (L.103-2 of the Urban Planning Code) and public inquiry (articles L.123-1 and R.123-1 et seq. of the Environmental Code) open to residents, associations and elected officials. Municipal deliberations publicly accessible.
Cleared building permit
No sales, no construction until the permit is obtained and the appeal period has lapsed. Any expression of interest until then is strictly non-contractual.
Consulted authority opinions
DDT, DREAL, ARS, SDIS, network operators, inter-municipal authority, each body issues an opinion appended to the planning file, which is publicly accessible.
Indicative timeline: territorial dialogue phase engaged in 2026, in-depth technical studies, regulatory file to be submitted, public inquiry and review according to the applicable procedural schedule. Opening target: 2030-2032.
11/ Open dialogue
Are you an environmental association? Let's talk.
Whether you represent a national, regional or local organisation, your expertise matters to us. We prefer rigorous criticism that moves the project forward to principled opposition that blocks it. Our door is open.
