## Space
Welcome to L'Heure Normande, a cosy retreat at the foot of Rouen station, where time seems to slow down as soon as you walk through the door. Just a few minutes' walk from the quays and about ten minutes from the Place du Vieux Marché, this 35 m² one-bedroom apartment, nestled on the 2nd floor of a modern residence with a lift, is designed to comfortably accommodate two to four people. The theme of clocks punctuates the décor, as a nod to travel, appointments and the precious moments you will experience there.
Upon entering, you will find a separate toilet, then you will enter the living area where the lounge and kitchen complement each other in a cosy atmosphere. The lounge offers a comfortable sofa bed for two people, a television and a dining table for sharing meals, working or simply putting the world to rights. The open-plan kitchen is fully fitted and equipped with hobs, a kettle, a coffee maker, a microwave and a 2-in-1 washer/dryer, not to mention everything you need to prepare your meals just like at home. Electric shutters, double glazing, programmable electric heating and fans ensure your comfort in all seasons, while WiFi allows you to stay connected with ease.
The quiet and cosy bedroom welcomes you with its double bed and storage space, ideal for a restful night's sleep after a day of exploring Rouen. The adjoining modern shower room offers everything you need: a comfortable shower, washbasin unit, hairdryer and iron, so you can travel light.
A real asset to the property, the large 16 m² balcony is a pleasant extension of the living room. You can enjoy your morning coffee there while listening to the city wake up, have a drink at the end of the day or simply watch the world go by, carried away by the ballet of trains arriving at the station. At the foot of the building, paid parking spaces are available, as is the Rouen station car park, both at the current rates. The city is easy to explore on foot.
Bed linen and towels are provided in the accommodation for your comfort for two people. If you require bed linen for the sofa bed, a supplement of €12 will be charged and will be available from a locked box once the amount has been paid.
No private parking is available with the accommodation. However, you can park your vehicle in the streets surrounding the accommodation or in the station car park, subject to the city's current rates.
