Bio-waste is transformed into compost for the 13 hectares of a landscaped park particularly concerned about biodiversity. Local skills – and therefore short supply chains – are favoured in the Hotel as well as in the entire Royal Abbey of Fontevraud. In the rooms, it is the 100% natural artisanal soap made in Fontevraud that is offered.
Committed to an eco-responsible approach, at the breakfast of the Hotel, we taste the honey produced only a few meters away! Indeed, the Royal Abbey of Fontevraud has its own hives.
Since 2013, in the undergrowth as well as in the Bourbon Park, the hives buzz with the harmonious and supportive work of hundreds of thousands of foragers echoing the old monastic life. There are about forty hives set up with a production between 1000 and 1800 kg of honey every year.
A true ecological hotel, Fontevraud l’Hôtel aims to reduce its environmental impact and promote selective sorting. The establishment also offers its own water, from its source and served in the various dining areas.
