Our “green” addresses for an eco-friendly holiday

Green Key hotels in the Yvelines

In the Yvelines region, 15 lodgings have already obtained this label, including eight in 2024, a guarantee of environmental and societal commitment. Among them are:

Domaine de la Corniche in Rolleboise

The hotel-restaurant, winner of the Clef Verte 2024 award, has embarked on an eco-friendly approach, including the installation of LED lighting, water-regulating faucets, 100% electric business vehicles, Cinq Mondes ECOCERT/Greenlife-certified hospitality products, the development of an on-site vegetable garden, a scrupulous selection of local producers and waste recycling (selective sorting, composting, creation of a chicken coop)…

The Centre Port Royal des Champs in Saint-Lambert des Bois

Winner of the 2021 Green Key label, this *** seminar venue and hotel is committed to sustainable development through a series of concrete actions.

Best Western Plus Paris Vélizy

Located in the heart of Inovel Parc, Vélizy-Villacoublay’s business hub, the Best Western Plus Paris Vélizy welcomes you to a contemporary design setting. The décor pays homage to plants and minerals, in keeping with the hotel’s environmental approach.

Le Louis Versailles Château

With a unique location just 2 steps from the Château de Versailles, this beautiful 4-star hotel built on a prestigious historic site will provide you with a unique…and environmentally-friendly experience! The Le Louis Versailles Château hotel, certified Green Globe Certification and Clef Verte for the first time in 2024, offers a number of sustainable tourism and catering services, such as composting organic waste, donating old equipment to recycling centres or associations, and preparing vegetarian/vegan menus.

Les Tanières de Thoiry   

Compost toilets, meals based on local produce, no heating…the Tanières de Thoiry are a good example to follow when it comes to unusual AND environmentally-friendly accommodation! Also worth noting: Thoiry is the world’s first biomethane-heated animal park and castle! Thanks to methanisation, the park’s star animals have also become their own energy producers! From waste management and recovery to the production of 100% local green energy, this extraordinary project is also a great opportunity for the park to raise visitors’ awareness of environmental protection and the development of renewable energies.

La Bergerie en Vexin in Jambville

In the heart of the Vexin nature park, on the border of the Paris and Val-d’Oise regions, these Gîtes de France-labelled B&Bs and Gîtes selected by the famous Guide du Routard have also been awarded the “Parc Naturel Régional” and “Accueil Vélo” labels. For breakfast, the owners favour local, quality products from local producers within the regional nature park.

Huttopia campsites

Thanks to its sophisticated facilities, a real understanding of the real ecological issues, and the deep conviction that humans are part of nature, Huttopia has been able to establish itself harmoniously in the beautiful natural sites of Versailles and Rambouillet, respecting and enhancing them. An example? The Huttopia Rambouillet swimming pool is one of the few natural pools in France to be chlorine-free!

Ecolocouette in Poissy

In an ecological house close to the national forest, Constance offers you a comfortable, quiet bed and breakfast with parking, wifi, bathroom, WC, double bed and sofa. The pluses: A mine of information on home ecology, Constance offers free advice on permaculture, DIY household products, organic cosmetics, and how to go green at home.

The Barn in Bonnelles

In the heart of the forest of Rambouillet, in the midst of the magnificent La Cense stud farm, the Barn hotel is set in 200 hectares of nature for a getaway far from fine particles and city stress. On the programme: horse riding in the forest, a real Ayurvedic massage performed by a native of India or a tee party at the nearby golf course. Among other activities: yoga, cooking classes, Nordic baths, plant and nature workshops and even pick-your-own fruit and vegetables. The 70 rooms, housed in former barns with red tin roofs, have an elegant, uncluttered feel that could be described as agri-chic, with coated cotton canvas, ceramics, metal… And last but not least, the Barn also offers the pleasure of fine dining. Around large wooden tables or under the beautiful glass roof, you’re sure to share fresh produce just brought in from the neighbouring vegetable garden.

And don’t forget the B&Bs!

A further nine places to stay in Yvelines have been awarded the “bienvenue à la ferme” label, a guarantee of excellence in ethical quality, and a fascinating encounter with our rural heritage.
