Environmental Charter
COMMITMENT TO THE ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY
At La Maison Rabelais, our commitment to environmental responsibility goes hand in hand with our attachment to the natural and historical beauty of the Amboise region, at the heart of the Loire Valley.
Local Development Actor
At La Maison Rabelais, we are committed to promoting the work of local businesses. The hotel's history has previously passed through the hands of artisans from the surrounding areas of Amboise.
It continues to develop every day, thanks to the suppliers of our grocery products, of local origin, and the wines and spirits from the bar, of French provenance.
Wooden Chalets
Our wooden chalets, also known as lodges, represent a perfect symbiosis between modern comfort and environmental respect, offering our visitors a unique experience at the heart of the famous Loire castles.
Thanks to innovative initiatives such as the installation of photovoltaic panels on the roofs of our lodges, they are labeled passive.
We can produce energy while preserving the integrity of our natural environment.
Geothermal System
We have integrated a geothermal system into all our structures. This innovative technology uses the earth's natural heat for heating and air conditioning, thus reducing our dependence on fossil fuels and our carbon footprint.
Thanks to geothermal energy, you can enjoy a pleasant stay knowing that you are participating in the protection of our planet.
Rainwater Harvesting
Concerned about preserving the precious water resources of the region, we have implemented a rainwater harvesting system to supply our sanitary facilities.
This initiative allows us to preserve freshwater resources while contributing to the sustainability of our establishment.
Water-Efficient Vegetation
At La Maison Rabelais, we believe in the preservation of water, a vital resource. This is why we are committed to developing water-efficient vegetation.
By choosing plants adapted to the local climate and implementing efficient irrigation techniques, we reduce our water consumption while preserving the beauty of our environment.
Bicycle Parking
At La Maison Rabelais, we celebrate eco-friendly travel on two wheels.
Our commitment to environmental preservation is reflected in our secure bicycle parking.
By encouraging the exploration of the majestic Loire by bike, we contribute to promoting an environmentally friendly mode of transportation and discovering the treasures of our region.
Swift Birdhouses
PROJECT IN PROGRESS
Just as the Val d’Amboise Community of Communes has committed with the SOS Swifts association, La Maison Rabelais hosts these migratory birds thanks to birdhouses.
The preservation of biodiversity is a primary commitment of our hotel.
