Ecology is an individual process. We have chosen to follow this path and we invite you to take part in this dynamic within our establishment.
For more than 26 years, we have always sought to evolve, without compromising our daily commitment:
Taking care of living things!
This philosophy is combined in the present and in the future, by combining constant attention to you, our valued customers, benevolence towards each of our employees, a partnership relationship with our suppliers and maximum respect for the nature that surrounds us.
We would like to thank you for finding out (much) more about the actions, choices and commitments of our hotel. Here you will find a complete list of our environmental initiatives:
Energy :
- Solar panels for domestic hot water,
- Photovoltaic panels for electricity,
- Wood chip boiler and heat pump for heating,
- New and/or class A electrical cleaning appliances,
- Flow restrictor installed on each tap,
- 100% LED lighting,
- Exterior lighting limited to the strict minimum and automatically activated,
- Two charging points for electric vehicles,
- Four electrically-assisted bicycles.
Resources :
- Recovery of rainwater to flush the toilets of the new building, fill the swimming pool and water the plants (the cisterns have a capacity of 110m3).3),
- Unused clean water (from water jugs, for example) recovered and reused as much as possible for watering,
- The pool is never emptied because the water is treated in a closed circuit,
- A glass bottle is provided in each room to limit the use of plastic bottles,
- No phytosanitary products for exterior maintenance and limited mowing,
- Plantations chosen locally and requiring little water,
- Use eco-labelled and measured household products, and the same for the swimming pool and spa,
- Processing fresh, local and seasonal produce in the kitchen,
- A selection of organic or sustainable producers as close as possible,
- Single-use products are disappearing; we prefer more durable materials (water jugs and cloth tablecloths),
- Most of our hygiene products and room amenities are organic, made in the Ardèche and packaged in eco-responsible or returnable packaging,
- Sort and recycle all waste (local waste collection centre) or compost in the garden.
Social aspects :
- Adapting employees' working hours to better reconcile work and family life,
- 11 full-time employees on permanent contracts,
- Luncheon vouchers, fringe benefits and, above all, daily exchanges to ensure the best possible combination with each of our employees!
- Respected, locally-based suppliers (farmers, builders, printers, architects, etc. to support the local economy) and we are loyal to them. Promoting their products in the shop.
And because we want to help our customers take action, stickers are displayed in strategic places to encourage them to do the right thing. Here are a few examples... once you're there, you'll be sure to spot them!
