An ecological hotel approach
Living the centenaire experience also means enjoying top-tier service while respecting the environment.
As part of our zero-plastic policy, we have eliminated single-use plastic cosmetic samples and replaced them with solid products. Upon arrival, you will be invited to discover a range of solid soaps, available for use throughout your stay. Our partners in this initiative is La Savonnerie Buissonnière.
In the same spirit, our employees use Anotherway cleaning tablets to limit plastic waste. This company has opted to use lozenges dissolved in water via reusable diffuser bottles.
Also, since 2020, the hotel has been sourcing energy from green energy providers. We currently collaborate with Primeo Energie, a historic energy player established in Switzerland since 1897. Primeo Energie specializes in the distribution, supply, and production of renewable energy across Europe, including France.
A committed kitchen
Chef Mathieu Métifet has created his own herb garden, offering an array of aromatic plants. You will find edible flowers, mint, lemon balm, nigella, and other carefully selected herbs to enhance your dishes. To support biodiversity, Mathieu has also built an insect hotel, ensuring a thriving ecosystem.
In line with this commitment to nature, a strict waste management policy has been implemented. This includes advanced recycling practices throughout the establishment, composting, and the use of returnable bottles for beverages.
Finally, we collect cork stoppers from wine bottles for recycling. The proceeds are donated to a cancer support organization: : Agir Cancer Gironde, Institut Bergoné.
