OUR COMMITMENTS
A MORE HUMAN WARMTH
Keeping your cool and maintaining your body at the right temperature help combat climate change. For example, Hotel Ginette à la Folie consciously maintains its heating and air-conditioning systems at between 19 and 24 degrees Celsius, to take action against excessive energy consumption.
PRECIOUS WATER
In the Hotel Ginette à la Folie neighborhood, water has always been valued: the nearby Canal Saint-Martin was built by Napoleon to guarantee Paris’s water needs. Respecting this vital resource insures our long-term well-being. To preserve water quality and quantity, we suggest you change your room linens only when you deem it necessary. Thus thousands of liters of water are spared from chemical substances each year, helping protect an essential, natural ecosystem.
Hotel Ginette à la Folie has also chosen to offer filtered water in reusable bottles since locally-sourced Paris water requires neither transportation nor the manufacture of plastic.
SENSIBLE SEPARATION
Though recycling is a solution for our future consumption, it is still necessary to sort it properly beforehand. To facilitate waste separation, Hotel Ginette à la Folie has set up some strict practices. Biowaste, metal, paper, plastic and packaging are all scrupulously sorted out. In addition to the Hotel Ginette à la Folie staff’s conscientious commitment, you can also contribute to these gestures by using the sorting garbage cans provided in the rooms and living areas.
LOCAL VIRTUES
In selecting its partners and suppliers, Hotel Ginette à la Folie trusts its “favorites”: our demand for quality is vital. But since it is important to keep things in perspective, proximity is the key word. By remaining loyal to talented local craftsmen, Hotel Ginette à la Folie contributes to the sustainability of the local socio-economic fabric, while reducing the carbon footprint associated with our logistics.
