Young travellers are often particularly sensitive to environment-friendly and sustainable practices. The Auberge de jeunesse Hi Paris Yves-Robert a short distance from the Gare de l’Est and Gare du Nord is a unique green space with a covered garden planted with trees and ponds with aquatic plants. As for the Saint Christopher’s Inn, it has been certified HQE. Ethic Etapes has six establishments in and around Paris, all oriented towards sustainable development: protecting the environmental well-being of their area, using a responsible approach to management, bringing together people of different social categories and making holidays accessible to one and all to create a social and solidarity economy. As to furnished apartment hotels, the 10 Paris hotels of the Adagio Aparthotel® chain have been awarded the EU eco-label. All these initiatives should have a snowball effect.
