Travelling differently: Green Corners, our commitment to the planet!

To travel is to discover, to marvel, to escape... But today, traveling is also a responsibility! At Auberges de Jeunesse, we believe that every stay can be an opportunity to take action for a better world. How can we do so? By proposing a more ecological, supportive and sustainable form of travel.

That's where our Green Corner comes in! Spaces designed to inform, raise awareness and, above all, involve our travelers in a more responsible approach. 🌍

Spaces for better travel ✨

Our Green Corners, present in every hostel, are real places of inspiration and action. They provide invaluable information on :

• Soft mobility: how to explore the city without polluting? Bike routes, public transport, carpooling...
• Local good deals: thrift shops, local producers, zero-waste businesses, committed associations... When you travel, you're also supporting the local economy!
• Green events: Exhibitions, workshops, debates... There's always something going on near the Auberges, or even in our Auberges.
•  Small everyday gestures: Sorting waste, saving water and energy, opting for sustainable meals... All these actions, multiplied by thousands of travelers, make a real difference!
• And so much more! Each Green Corner is full of discoveries and initiatives to explore. Come and discover them for yourself, and join in this collective adventure!

From traveler to "consumer-actor" 💪

Our Auberges are not just places to sleep. They're places to learn, exchange and get involved. Thanks to Green Corners, we want to :

✅ Inform: Because an informed traveler is a responsible traveler!

✅ Question: Are we aware of our impact when we travel?

✅ Encouraging action: Everyone can be an agent of change, through small gestures or big decisions.

✅ Creating links: By encouraging travelers to share experiences and ideas.

A committed hostel , a transformed journey 🌍

By staying in a youth hostel , you're already taking the first step towards more responsible tourism. Sharing spaces (dormitories, kitchens, lounges) limits our carbon footprint. Our initiatives (organic menus, waste sorting, reduced energy consumption, committed events...) are further proof that it's possible to travel differently.

Above all, we want you to be part of the change. So, are you ready to transform the way you travel? Join the adventure and together, let's show that we can combine discovery and commitment! 🌿💚
