ISIDORE HOTEL
HOTEL COMMITTED TO SUSTAINABLE TOURISM
A green and relaxing environment: the Courrouze eco-district in Saint-Jacques-de-la-Lande
Living in the city, living in a park, this is the objective of the Courrouze eco-district.
La Courrouze, which was launched in 2000, is a project that is emblematic of the sustainable city: modern neo-urban architecture, eco-responsible buildings and maximum use of nature. It represents a total of 115 hectares, of which 40 are green spaces, i.e. one third of the surface area.
Built on a former industrial zone, the Courrouze eco-district aims to limit urban sprawl and encourage development that is more respectful of the environment and the population, while increasing the economic attractiveness of the city of Rennes.
Located between the towns of Rennes and Saint-Jacques de la-Lande, this district offers an exceptional living environment as well as an ideal place to relax and enjoy the fresh air, while remaining close to the centre of Rennes. The district favours soft modes of transport, such as cycling and walking, with numerous cycle paths and pedestrian routes.
Furthermore, you can take advantage of direct access to line B of the Rennes metro thanks to the Saint-Jacques Gaité station, which allows you to reach the city centre in less than 5 minutes.
Hotel Isidore: a hotel with the "Green Key" label
Just like the area in which it is located, the Hotel Isidore implements measures for sustainable tourism. Since November 2022, the hotel has been one of less than 1,000 French establishments with the "Green Key" label (1er sustainable tourism label for tourist accommodation and restaurants). This label attests to the sustainable approach of tourist establishments in their activity on more than a hundred criteria. Thus, the Hotel Isidore is the hotel industry of tomorrow: a responsible and committed hotel industry.
The criteria of the label, established at international level, impose a respect for the territory, its natural environment and its local populations while participating in its economic attractiveness. This includes raising employee awareness, controlling water and energy consumption, managing waste responsibly, participating in a short supply chain, and promoting local players and the natural assets of the region.
Our social and environmental commitments
In order to participate in the emergence of this new eco-neighbourhood and to actively contribute to the preservation of the environment, the establishment works on a daily basis to implement concrete actions.
Strongly aware of current environmental issues, Hotel Isidore is committed to a thoughtfull environmental and social policy.
How can we reduce the ecological footprint of our business? How can we jointly continue to provide quality services to our customers?
Through continuous improvement of environmental performance and the achievement of ambitious and well-reasoned objectives:
- Mobilise and raise awareness among all employees and stakeholders of the hotel's activities
- Reducing overall energy consumption
- Optimising water consumption
- Limiting waste production
- Improving the recovery of imponderable waste
- Promote the use of renewable resources and less environmentally damaging substances
Acting for sustainable development
This improvement in environmental performance requires the implementation of measures that give concrete expression to the establishment's environmental approach.
In order to pursue and achieve these objectives, we follow the following measures, for example:
- Use of low-energy light bulbs

- Raising awareness among our customers of the eco-gestures to be adopted to promote our approach
- Vigilance and respect for all with regard to environmental regulations and provisions
