Between city and nature

the Courrouze eco-neighborhood in Saint-Jacques-de-la-Lande

Living in the city, living in a park: that is the goal of the Courrouze eco-neighborhood.

Launched in the 2000s, La Courrouze is an iconic sustainable city project: neo-urban and modern architecture, eco-friendly buildings, and nature showcased to its fullest potential. It covers a total of 115 hectares, including 40 hectares of green space, representing one-third of the total area.

Built on a former industrial site, the Courrouze eco-neighborhood aims to limit urban sprawl and promote development that is more respectful of the environment and the population, while enhancing the economic attractiveness of the city of Rennes.

Located between the towns of Rennes and Saint-Jacques de la-Lande, this neighborhood offers an exceptional living environment and an ideal vacation spot to relax and enjoy the fresh air, while remaining close to downtown Rennes. The neighborhood promotes sustainable modes of transportation, such as cycling and walking, with numerous bike paths and pedestrian walkways.

In addition, you can enjoy direct access to the Rennes metro line B via the Saint-Jacques Gaité station, which will take you to the city center in about 10 minutes.

hotel with the "Green Key" label

Like the neighborhood in which it is located, the Hôtel Isidore is implementing measures to promote sustainable tourism. Since November 2022, the hotel has been one of the first 1,000 French establishments to be awarded the "Clef Verte" label (the leading sustainable tourism label for tourist accommodation and restaurants).

This label certifies that tourist establishments are operating sustainably based on more than a hundred criteria. The Hotel Isidore is the hotel of tomorrow: a responsible and committed hotel.
The label's criteria, established at the international level, require respect for the region, its natural environment, and its local populations, while contributing to its economic attractiveness.

This involves raising employee awareness, controlling water and energy consumption, responsible waste management, participating in a short supply chain, and promoting local stakeholders and the region's natural assets.

Raising awareness among our customers about eco-friendly actions they can take to support our approach
Vigilance and compliance by all with environmental guidelines and regulations
Compliance with applicable standards and regulations
