## Space
Welcome to the “Maison des Béguines”, an authentic 3-storey historic monument (listed as a heritage site) built in 1700, typical of Rouen with its beautiful half-timbered facade, tiled roof and exposed beams...
Quietly located in a small cobbled street with little traffic (dead-end street), you're right in the heart of Rouen's historic center, just 150m from the famous Place du Vieux Marché with its lively shops and restaurants!
It's the ideal starting point for discovering the “city of a hundred steeples”. The “Maison des Béguines” comprises 4 newly renovated apartments (to energy standards), with a studio for 2 people on each floor of around 20m2. Please note that access is secured by a digicode at the entrance!
Each apartment has its own identity, inspired by a loved one. Designed down to the last detail with the help of an interior designer, the apartments have been furnished, decorated and equipped with care to make you feel at home.
Discover Vera now! Inspired by a natural, elegant personality, the apartment features soft, organic colors like camel and materials like wood and rattan.
Located on the 3rd floor in a double exposure with its beautiful exposed beam, the apartment is full of charm and brightness. Its uncluttered decor is nonetheless highly functional.
Optimized in every detail, you'll find a living area with a magnificent velvet-effect sofa that converts easily into a 140cm double bed. Particular attention has been paid to providing the best possible sleeping experience, with a slatted base and a 16cm-thick “Excellence” mattress in 30kg/m3 high-resilience polyurethane foam. All you have to do is snuggle up comfortably in the hotel sheets. The beautiful curtains are opaque, so you won't be awakened by daylight in the morning.
You'll find plenty of storage space for your clothes, either folded in the dresser or hung on a dedicated rack.
The open-plan kitchen is also particularly well equipped: electric hob, microwave, fridge, coffee maker, toaster, kettle... and plenty of cooking utensils to prepare your finest dishes to enjoy on the dining table opposite.
Finally, you'll be able to relax in a bath (rain head) in the bathroom, also equipped with a washbasin with storage and WC. The little extra: a hotel-style electric towel dryer!
You'll also benefit from a high-speed wifi network via fiber and an HD TV with all TNT channels and the option of castering content from your phone or tablet. For this part on the TV, this is not yet the case, but the TV should be operational by the end of September.
An ironing board and iron are available in the common areas.
Traveling with friends or family? It's possible to rent several apartments at the same time, so you can all be under the same roof! Please contact us for more information.
