A beautifully restored public building, repurposed as a bespoke guest house. Lovely period features and an Art Deco theme with lots of interesting touches throughout the house. Off road, private parking, a tranquil walled garden with swimming pool and easy walking distance to all Rouen’s amenities. The owners, Pascal and Sandrine were very welcoming and attentive and were able to offer ideas for dining out and sightseeing during our stay.

A continental breakfast is available daily at the property. The bed and breakfast offers a seasonal outdoor pool. Guests can also relax on the sun terrace.
