The eco-friendly Bed & Breakfast :
Une chambre en ville uses a questionnaire with 25 items prepared by the FPPCH to appraise each B&B on environmental criteria and
to assess the present implication of the owners of the Bed and Breakfasts.
This questionnaire is divided into five main sections :
• water and energy conservation,
• reduction of waste and use of sustainable products,
• environmental and health care,
• organic or eco-friendly food,
• guests’ education.
How to recognize an Eco-friendly Bed and Breakfast ?
Only the best rated Bed and Breakfasts will get the seal of «Eco-friendly B&B».
This seal has three graduations : three, four or five green leaves, depending on the rating.
The following documents will be at the disposal of the visitors in their Bed and Breakfasts :
• A list of the commitments of their host
• A list of eco tips for the visitors
• A list of relevant websites and publishings.
In november 2011, an Authentic Bed & Breakfast has been awarded « La Clef Verte » (The Green Key) and is to-day the first and
the only « La Clef Verte » awarded B&B in Paris and in the Ile-de-France.
