Environnement - Découvrez le label Clé verte

The MIJE association, specialising in educational school trips and accommodation in its three Paris youth hostels, is aware of its social responsibility and actively strives to ensure that the ecological impact of staying in its establishments remais as low as possible.

Educational trips are an excellent opportunity to help teach young people about respecting the environment and the idea of living together; they promote awareness of good practices to adopt in their daily lives to preserve the planet for future generations and become eco-citizens.

In our MIJE Fauconnier youth hostel, a 17th century building located in Paris, in the heart of the Marais, we are committed to an environmentally-responsible approach that aims to make optimal use of environmental resources by controlling our water and energy consumption and reducing wastage and waste emissions.

Our environmental charter specifies the actions we take on a daily basis to work towards responsible behaviour. It also describes a few simple gestures that will enable you to become involved in our approach during your stay.
