Energy

Energy is not an unlimited resource.

The electricity turns off as soon as you leave your room, by removing the room key from the box.
When you are in your room, also remember to unplug your chargers from the electrical outlets when they are no longer in use, as well as to close the windows when (reasonably) using the air conditioning or heating.

Water

Water is a precious resource. Consume it in moderation!

Decide for yourself: if you leave your towels in the bathtub or on the floor, we need to change them. If you hang them up, we know you will use them again. Also, if you do not want your bedsheets changed to save water and energy, simply inform our front desk.

Turn off the water in the shower when soaping, or the water in the sink when brushing your teeth, and prefer the shower to the bath, you will save many liters of water.

Food waste

We would like to limit food waste, can we count on you?

Good practice at breakfast: I fill my plate, making sure I can finish it. If necessary, I will go and get more. When I leave my plate is empty.

Selective sorting

In order to better sort and recycle our waste, sorting bins are at your disposal: the yellow part for paper, cardboard, plastics and aluminum, the blue part for glass, the black part for non-recycle waste.

Transportation

Choose public transport, walking or rented bikes for your travels. Maps of Paris and the metro are available at our front desk, don't hesitate to ask us for advice!

Shopping

Prefer local shopping, and organic and seasonal products. You can also refuse unnecessary packaging or bags, and use your own reusable bag.
