Our commitment to sustainability & our Green Key promise
At Grands Boulevards Experimental, we're dedicated to providing you with an unforgettable experience while minimizing our environmental impact. Since our opening in 2018, sustainability has been at the heart of everything we do. From our eco-friendly design to our daily operations, we strive to make a positive difference without compromising your comfort.

SAVING WATER AND ENERGY:
- We have installed water savers/pressure reducers on our taps and showers to save water;
- We check our water and electricity consumption meters every month to better manage our usage;
- We have installed a water collector to water the green spaces and thus limit the use of drinking water.
- We replace each light bulb with a low consumption bulb and have already equipped a large part of our spaces;
- All of our lighting is LED, which allows energy savings and a similar comfort for our customers.
- We have installed presence detectors / timers in the common areas / corridors to limit energy waste;

LIMIT AND SORT OUR WASTE:
- We have set up waste garbage baskets in the rooms to encourage waste sorting;
- Our common areas are also equipped with a sorting device;
- We sort all types of waste, even bio-waste, for our compost bin in the vegetable garden and use the services of an external composting partner for waste that cannot be composted directly in the garden;
- We work with a majority of products in bulk or in large packaging to limit unnecessary
packing;
- We are developing a partnership to offer hygiene and beauty products in glass bottles in order to reduce the production of plastic packaging waste;
- We set up educational displays to help our customers in their eco-friendly actions in accordance with local regulations;
TO BE ATTENTIVE TO THE WELL-BEING OF OUR CUSTOMERS:
- We offer vegetarian dishes on the restaurant menu and vegan on request, local and seasonal products, and we adapt to certain special diets;
- The menus of our restaurants/snacks propose organic and/or fair trade products. The products used for the maintenance of the facilities are ecolabelled, which offers a better quality of air and less risks for health;
- For the well-being of our teams and yours, we have banned bleach, which is irritating to the respiratory tract and toxic. We use ozonated water for the cleaning of the establishment;
AND MORE:
- Our vegetable garden is each season a little more complete to enhance our bar and our restaurant.
- Our green spaces are maintained without pesticides and we use natural gardening methods (compost) to fight against weeds and insects;
- We have partnerships with local recycling centers and donate our former equipment/furniture.
- We have set up partnerships with solidarity and ecological associations allowing you to support their actions. We have chosen the Association Robert Debré and made a donation in 2023 dedicated to financing holidays in the mountains for ill children.
- Each year, we commit to new criteria to perfect our approach, do not hesitate to send us your suggestions!
Thank you in advance for supporting us in our approach during your stay.
We have started our labeling process with the Green Key label, which will allow us to validate all these great actions and others to come.
