Eco-friendly B&B in Amboise, Loire Valley (France)

Rental description

Are you planning to see the royal Chateau in Amboise? Franck and Laurence will help you do it the eco-friendly way. Their guest room is only 500m away, located on a serene hillock. You will receive a splendid view of the chateau from your room window! Their double room is 16m² in size, enough space for an extra bed.

You will be able to relax in their* large garden*. One of the highlights are their breakfast options. Enjoy it in the common room next to the chimney, outside on the terrace or further out in the direction of the castle. The meal, as you’d expect, is organic.

There is a garage for those coming by car as well as bike rentals in town. Amboise is also a great place for pedestrians.

Sustainability criteria

As part of the ecolabelling they have received, Franck and Laurence proudly adhere to high standards of sustainability. The walls are insulated with hemp wool and fermacell (fibreboards made from recycled material and water). Pholtovoltaics can be seen on the roof. Water on the estate is heated using solar energy and all cleaning products are biodegradable and certified for meeting high eco-friendly standards.

The gardening work is done without pesiticides. Their chickens are free to roam outdoors just as they are free to lay eggs when they feel like it. You may have an egg for breakfast along with some of their homegrown fruits.

You can save on the petrol costs by taking a train to Amboise from Paris depending on convenience. It is a 2-hour ride.
