Mercure Castres L'Occitan Earns the Green Key Label

Publié le : 03 juillet 2026

Travel responsibly, discover Occitania differently

We are proud to announce that we have been awarded the Green Key label! This recognition rewards our genuine and long-term commitment to sustainability and naturally reflects our core mission: creating tailor-made group stays in Occitania that combine authenticity, four-star comfort, and respect for our exceptional region.

What is the Green Key label?

Green Key is an international eco-label recognizing environmentally committed tourist accommodation. To earn it, our hotel was audited on strict criteria including water and energy management, waste sorting, responsible purchasing and staff awareness.

Our commitment includes energy-efficient equipment, purchasing from local producers and short supply chains in the Tarn and Occitania, rigorous recycling, reducing single-use plastics and continuously training our teams in environmental best practices.

Why does it matter for groups?

Group travellers increasingly want responsible travel without giving up comfort, quality dining or rich discovery programmes. This certification is an added value for organisers, who can assure their members that their stay has been designed responsibly from accommodation to meals.

Tailor-made group stays in the heart of Occitania

Our speciality is tailor-made group holidays. Thanks to our tourism licence, we organise complete stays including accommodation, catering, visits and the services of a local guide.

Discover Castres, Albi, Toulouse, Carcassonne, the Canal du Midi and the medieval bastides of the Tarn.

Your stay also includes meetings with local winegrowers, artisans and producers, tasting Gaillac wines, cassoulet, foie gras, Lautrec pink garlic and Lacaune delicacies. Supporting local businesses is simply another way to travel responsibly.

One contact, a turnkey stay

One contact, one quotation and a complete programme with a guide throughout your stay. Whether you represent a senior club, an association or a coach operator, we tailor every programme to your wishes and budget.
