A few of our sustainable actions
LOCAL FOOD
We grow vegetables and fruits in our garden and offer a restaurant menu based on regional and seasonal products only.
Environment-friendly products
We select organic toiletries.
We use environment-friendly or natural cleaning products.
Water savings
We handwash all our laundry and encourage our guests' eco-mindfulness (no automatic renewal of towels and bedsheets).
energy savings
We chose low-consumption appliances (even in our kitchen), light the building with leds and leave the laundry out to dry in our back garden.
Decorating & landscaping
We decorated the hotel and its surroundings with local sustainable material : doors and furniture in replanted wood, natural paint, recycled isolation...
Our parc is also home to a nursery dedicated to regional species' survival and reforestation.
