Céleste • coup de coeur • 2 lits

The space

Discover Céleste, a charming flat nestled on the 3rd floor of a building on Rue Ganterie, one of the liveliest, friendliest and most sought-after shopping streets in the historic heart of Rouen. Just a stone’s throw from the majestic cathedral, this is the perfect spot to explore the city on foot, amongst shops, restaurants, cafés and charming narrow streets. The moment you arrive, the contrast is striking: right in the heart of Rouen’s bustling city centre, step inside this little gem and let yourself be enveloped by a peaceful, almost suspended atmosphere, where calm and comfort reign supreme.

The bright and pleasant living room overlooks Rue Ganterie and naturally invites you to relax. We love settling into the ultra-comfortable sofa, watching the city centre bustle below, or sharing a meal around the dining table which seats up to four guests. Opening onto the living room, the fitted and equipped kitchen has everything you need to make the most of a short or long stay: hob, oven, microwave, fridge, Nespresso coffee machine, crockery and kitchen utensils.

The bathroom features a shower and a vanity unit, whilst the toilet is separate for added comfort. The bedroom, with storage space, overlooks the interior and guarantees a quiet and restful sleeping area. A few steps then lead you up to the mezzanine, a true timeless retreat. Here, everything invites you to slow down, curl up and enjoy the moment. You’ll find a large 180x200cm bed with a mattress topper, as well as a desk, ideal for setting up your laptop, reading or simply taking a quiet break.

To make your stay easier, the property also provides ironing facilities — an ironing board and iron — as well as a washing machine. Bed linen and towels are provided to ensure a smooth arrival.

Regarding parking, the property does not have a private parking space, but it is possible to park in the surrounding streets at the current rates. The paid, covered car parks at the Palais de Justice and the Hôtel de Ville are also nearby.

The property is managed by L’ArchiDuchesse Conciergerie, available 7 days a week, from 10.00 am to 12.30 pm and from 2.00 pm to 9.00 pm, to assist you throughout your stay.

To preserve the quality of the premises and the peace and quiet of the neighbourhood, we would be grateful if you could take care of the accommodation and respect its surroundings. You will be asked to provide a credit card authorisation via a secure link to finalise your booking and obtain the access codes.

And to extend your stay a little longer, early check-in or late check-out may be available, subject to availability and prior agreement from the concierge team. A one-off fee of €10 will then apply.
