Our environmental commitment

At the Château de Goudourville, ecology is not a trend - it's a historical reality.

It’s the very essence of this kind of place, built with natural materials: stone, wood, lime...

Reducing environmental impact is simply a return to common sense and sustainable habits.

A proactive approach with concrete actions is in place, adapted to the building’s specific features.

Energy :

Conscious Simplicity

Gradual transition to 100% LED lighting
Motion sensors to activate lights only when needed
Light indicators on switches to encourage turning off lights
One large TV in the lounge-bar to reduce unnecessary devices
Outdoor floodlights replaced with low-energy models

Shared habit :

turn off the lights when leaving a room.

Water :

Every Drop Counts

Low-flow showers and toilets
Liquid soap dispensers to reduce waste

Shared habit :

don’t let water run unnecessarily

Heating :

Controlled Warmth

Heating activated by zones based on occupancy
Outdoor sensors to adjust heating to the weather
Firewood sourced from the estate for the fireplace
Thermostatic valves on radiators

Shared habit :

it’s better to lower a radiator

than crack open a window.

Paper & Digital :

Less, But Better

Paperless contracts, signed electronically
Reduced paper use with digital communication via website, social media, and email
Recycling of paper and cardboard

Together, in the Same Spirit

We invite our guests - who become, for a time, the attentive guardians of the château - to adopt simple gestures.

On arrival, a clear, accessible charter, along with practical eco-friendly living tips, designed to be easy and mindful rather than restrictive is shared with guests.

And tomorrow?

We continue exploring new paths for improvement. One step at a time.

Every gesture matters in preserving our environment - on this land,

on this little piece of the planet.
