The Saint-Jacques Hotel

Build a reception area for groups

As it is place where one seeks God, the abbey is also a place of welcome and renewal open to anyone wishing to deepen their faith, take a step back, take a break… The Saint-Wandrille Abbey has different lodgings to receive guests individually. But the capacities of these buildings are too small to accommodate groups over several days. The Saint-Jacques hotel, built a short distance from the abbey, will meet this ever-growing demand.

Thanks to the first donations, the works were able to begin,
With your help,
it will be possible to proceed to the construction and the fitting out of this building.

In respect of the environment

The proximity of the listed buildings of the monastery presents a real challenge for this new hotel and we have taken special care in the construction. We have chosen noble materials: half-timbered frames, slate roofs, limestone, lime plaster … Quality and long-lasting, all of them are part of sustainable development. The local style recalls that of the nearby village.

The materials and products used indoors, for floor, wall and ceiling coverings will have an environmental label such as NF environment or European Ecolabel.

Control of energy costs and maintenance:

Geothermal heating with probes
Hygienic ventilation with installation of very low consumption extraction units
E2C Certification

We only initiate the successive stages when we have a reasonable share of funding
