Eco tips during your stay

Maison ★★ – Vannes (Le Jointo district) · Welcome booklet
♻️
These simple actions cut environmental impact without reducing comfort. Thank you for your help!

🔌 Energy

  • Switch off lights and devices when you leave a room. Standby still uses power.
  • Heating: keep it between 19–20 °C (1 °C less ≈ −7 % energy).
  • Air the rooms for 10 minutes, then close the windows to keep the heat in.
  • Iron, kettle, oven: only heat the amount you need.

Before heading out

  • 🔋 Unplug chargers you are not using.
  • 🪟 Close windows/shutters according to the season.

🚿 Water

  • Favour short showers (4–5 min) instead of baths.
  • Turn off the tap while soaping or washing dishes.
  • Report any leaks (a steady drip wastes litres every day).

Kitchen tip

  • Put lids on pans so water boils faster.
  • Use the eco programme on appliances when available.

🗑️ Sorting & waste

  • Yellow: empty packaging (plastic, cardboard, metal).
  • Glass: bottles and jars (no lids).
  • Household waste: anything non-recyclable (bag closed).

Where to sort?

  • Collection points are shown on the welcome map (section “Sorting”).
  • Batteries, bulbs, medicines: do not put them in the bin, return them to a dedicated drop-off.

🍃 Respect neighbours & quiet hours

  • Please keep the neighbourhood peaceful (quiet evenings after 10 p.m.).
  • Smokers: outside only, and please use the ashtray provided.
  • Terrace/garden: leave it tidy and put the furniture back after use.

🚲 Soft mobility

  • Explore Vannes on foot or by bike: the old town and harbour are close by.
  • Transport: Kiceo bus lines, park-and-ride, bike rentals (see welcome map).

🌿 Nature & coastline

  • On trails and beaches: stay on paths, do not pick plants.
  • Take your waste back with you; a little plogging always helps.
  • Please do not feed birds or wildlife.
