Tranquil setting along the Touque, with Deauville beaches just 4km away. (PS: D-Day sights are a must.)

We understand the name now! You’re situated right in the centre with views of the cathedral.

Central locale means that shops, eats and the beach are just moments away on foot.

Located in the heart of the CITIS biz district, just a short ride to the centre and minutes from the D-Day Beaches.

Steps from the main train station, but quiet rooms won't let you know it.

For eats, swing by the aptly named Happy Dock bar with dishes made from ingredients from local farms.

Spot-on location across from the marina (busiest port in France!) – a 2-min jaunt from the station and 5 from the centre.

Ace location close to the centre and an easy suitcase-tug from the train station.

Killer views of the Rouen rugby fields. Wanna see more of the city? Head for the nearby transpo stops.

Comfy lodgings in a quiet area, but perfectly located for storming the beaches or the cafés.

It's showtime. Mere metres from the Zénith concert venue and Rouen Exhibition Centre.

Minimalist-chic meets mid-century style vibe throughout is on-point.

Interiors have a fresh, modern vibe with vibrant pops of colour and bold geometric shapes – a nice counterpoint to the city’s historic heart.

Suite-only guestrooms have a futuristic, ultra-mod focus on form and function.

Riding that li’l tourist train around the harbour can leave you famished. Onsite restaurant comes through in the clutch.
