You want to experiment a new way of travelling but you don't know where to start? Discover without further ado our 5 easy tips to make your stay in Vannes a new eco-friendly experience!
When we go on holiday, we often tend to want to take our car to get around, for the sake of simplicity... However, there are many other solutions that are just as effective for the environment!
Why not take your bike to get from town to town? Cycle touring is a very popular way of discovering new horizons, travelling using nothing but your bike. Many tourist destinations offer a wide range of routes specially reserved for bikes! Our establishment has recently been awarded the "Bicycle Touring Promise" by Best Western France, so you can be sure that a special welcome will be given to you...
As well as having a unique experience, eating locally helps the economy of our producers... The Gulf of Morbihan has a wealth of producers who are keen to pass on their knowledge and local products to you! So, during your stay, don't hesitate to go and meet the local oyster farmers, market gardeners and cider makers! To consult local producers, you can visit the mangeonslocal.bzh website which lists all the producers selling retail products!
On holiday, most people tend to forget their good habits. However, it is just as important to keep up the good habits! So, keep sorting your waste, take a bag with you when you go for a walk to throw away your rubbish. In addition to sorting your waste, think about using a reusable water bottle or an airtight box for your meal to limit the consumption of disposable plastic.
Choose an establishment that is committed to preserving the environment. Our establishment, the Best Western Plus Vannes centre-ville hotel, has been awarded the Green Key label since last year. This is the leading national and international environmental label for tourist accommodation and restaurants. As a result, our establishment and its teams promote renewable energy sources, good water and waste management on a daily basis. Also, our staff is aware of the need to improve the local environment so that your stay is a responsible one.
At the end of a holiday, we often want to bring back a souvenir for our loved ones (or for ourselves) and this can be responsible too! All you have to do is choose a (really) local shop, a local artisan. You could, for example, take home a bottle of cider, salted butter caramel or canned fish! In Vannes and the surrounding area, there are many small local shops offering this type of product, so you will be spoilt for choice.
That's it for our list of 5 tips, as we told you earlier, these are 5 "good practices" that can be easily implemented! So what are you waiting for for a responsible stay in South Morbihan?
