Contributing
to local development
At La Maison Rabelais, we are committed to promoting the work of local businesses. The history of the hotel has passed through the hands of artisans from the Amboise area.
It continues to develop every day, thanks to the suppliers of our locally-sourced groceries and our French-sourced wines and spirits for the bar.
Design & Construction
of The Maison Rabelais
The structure of the Maison Rabelais is based on ecological principles, conducive to the well-being of the surrounding natural environment.
Wooden chalets
Our wooden chalets, also known as lodges, represent a perfect symbiosis between modern comfort and respect for the environment, offering our guests a unique experience in the heart of the famous chateaux of the Loire Valley.
Thanks to innovative initiatives such as the installation of photovoltaic panels on the roofs of our lodges, they have been awarded the passive energy label.
We are able to produce energy while preserving the integrity of our natural environment.
Our geothermal system
We have integrated a geothermal system into all our structures. This innovative technology uses the earth's natural heat for heating and cooling, reducing our dependence on fossil fuels and our carbon footprint.
Thanks to geothermal energy, you can enjoy a pleasant stay knowing you're helping to protect our planet.
Rainwater harvesting
To preserve the region's precious water resources, we have set up a rainwater harvesting system to supply our sanitary facilities.
This initiative enables us to preserve freshwater resources while contributing to the sustainability of our establishment.
Nesting boxes for kingbirds
Just as the Communauté de communes du Val d'Amboise has made a commitment to the SOS Martinets association, the Maison Rabelais welcomes these migratory birds with nesting boxes.
Preserving biodiversity is one of our hotel's key commitments.
Water-efficient vegetation
At the Maison Rabelais, we believe in preserving water, a vital resource. That's why we're committed to the development of low-water consumption 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.
Bike parking
At La Maison Rabelais, we celebrate ecological travel on two wheels.
Our commitment to preserving the environment is reflected in our secure bicycle parking.
By encouraging people to explore the majestic Loire by bike, we're helping to promote a mode of transport that respects nature, and to discover the treasures of our region.
