## Space
Step inside Raf & Liza’s place… and let Rouen charm you. Right in the heart of Rouen’s Right Bank, just a stone’s throw from the legendary Place du Vieux-Marché, this superb flat invites you to experience the city from the inside, just like a true local. Here, everything is within walking distance: the cobbled streets steeped in history, the charming terraces, the fine restaurants, the boutique shops and the treasures of Rouen’s heritage. Whether you’re visiting for a discovery break, a business trip or a few days of remote working, you’ll enjoy a warm, elegant and ideally located retreat, set to the vibrant rhythm of the city centre.
Completely renovated in March 2026, this magnificent one-bedroom flat elegantly combines the charm of the city centre with the comfort of an interior designed to make you feel instantly at home. Bright, unobstructed and quiet thanks to its location on a pedestrianised street, it offers the rare luxury of enjoying the bustle of the city centre without the associated disturbances.
As soon as you enter, you’ll discover a living room bathed in light, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The living area, with its fully fitted and equipped open-plan kitchen, has been designed to ensure every moment is simple and enjoyable. It’s the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee, share a meal after a day out, work in comfort, or simply relax in the lounge, settled on the sofa in front of the television, in a cosy and soothing atmosphere.
The modern, fully equipped kitchen allows you to live at your own pace, just like at home: hob, oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, kettle, toaster, Nespresso machine and all the necessary utensils are at your disposal. Whether you’re staying for one night, a weekend or longer, everything has been designed to make your stay as smooth and comfortable as possible.
When it comes to sleeping, the bedroom offers a true haven of calm. Overlooking the courtyard, it promises peaceful nights, far from the hustle and bustle, in a comfortable double bed (140x200cm), ideal for recharging your batteries after a day exploring Rouen. The modern and elegant bathroom features a shower, a vanity unit, a toilet and a hairdryer. An ironing kit is also available.
Families with young children will particularly appreciate the facilities provided on site, including a cot and a high chair that attaches to the table, allowing you to travel light and enjoy your stay with peace of mind.
Bed linen and towels are provided for two people. The apartment does not have a private parking space, but you will easily find parking options nearby, in the surrounding streets or at the Vieux-Marché pay-and-display car park.

The Vieux-Marché district in Rouen is one of the city’s most iconic and historic areas, notably featuring its famous square, the Church of Sainte-Jeanne-d’Arc and the Halles with its covered market. The neighbourhood is brought to life by numerous cafés, brasseries and restaurants offering a varied cuisine, ranging from Norman specialities to international dishes. The establishments’ terraces offer pleasant views of the square and are ideal for relaxing.
The half-timbered buildings, often colourful, and the cobbled streets give the neighbourhood a medieval feel. The historic houses and well-preserved buildings immerse visitors in Rouen’s history. It is worth noting that the Place du Vieux-Marché regularly hosts cultural events, markets and festivals. This makes it a lively and dynamic place all year round.
