🌍 Earth Day

All our hostels
April 17–26, 2026

To mark Earth Day, celebrated every year on April 22, the Youth Hostels have decided to launch a joint initiative across their entire network.

From April 17 to 26, our teams invite people of all ages to become true agents of change 🌱

🌼 A concrete action for the planet

At all of our inns, packets of butterfly and honeybee-friendly seeds will be distributed free of charge to our visitors, our groups, and anyone else who would like to join the movement.

The goal?
To encourage everyone to take action to support biodiversity by helping to bring our environments back to life.

Each packet comes with an instruction sheet to help you plant easily and maximize your chances of seeing beautiful flowers bloom… and attracting pollinators 🐝🦋

🦋 Raising Awareness About Biodiversity for People of All Ages

This initiative is part of a strong commitment to raising awareness about nature conservation in a fun and accessible way.

Because, yes, every little bit counts.

🌱 Why plant honey-producing flowers?

Nectar-producing plants play a vital role in our ecosystems.
In particular, they help to:

  • feeding bees and pollinating insects
  • promote local biodiversity
  • to enhance our living spaces in a sustainable way

So, planting a few seeds means actively participating in an essential natural cycle.

💚 A small gesture, a big impact

Through this initiative, the Youth Hostels want to remind people that it doesn’t take much to make a difference.

Planting a seed is already a step toward a more vibrant, colorful, and sustainable environment.

Stop by one of our hostels between April 17 and 26 and get your free packet of seeds! 🌸
