Our commitment to a better planet

We are pleased to welcome you to Château de la Resle a sustainable destination in France. Since our opening in 2010, we have focused on respecting the environment, starting from the design of the spaces and the choice of materials. We strive every day to minimise the impact of our activity on the environment while offering you an unforgettable stay. Our greatest challenge is proving that we don’t need to deprive ourselves of pleasure in order to make choices that respect the planet. This charter was drawn up with our team in order to propose practical actions that we have tested and approved together, without compromising your comfort and pleasure during your stay with us.
