## Space
In the heart of Rouen, on Rue Charles Lepneveu, this exceptional property feels like a small townhouse nestled in an intimate condominium, where you immediately feel at home. The magic begins as soon as you arrive: a view of Place du ChĂȘne Rouge, a stone's throw from Saint-Godard Church, and just opposite... the Jacques-Villon heritage library. Here, you can enjoy the city centre on foot: shops are just a minute away, charming narrow streets, lively squares and historic façades are within walking distance.
The ultimate privilege in Rouen? Two parking spaces in a row (parking format) in a private, closed and secure garage â a rare luxury in the city centre. And to prolong the good times, you can enjoy a 15 mÂČ patio terrace, sheltered from the wind and not overlooked: breakfast in the open air, a reading break during the day, a drink at the end of the afternoon... in complete tranquillity. The owners have enjoyed (and continue to enjoy) many wonderful moments here: everything has been designed to make you feel at home, with comprehensive facilities and a warm atmosphere.
There are two ways to access the property: via the garage on the ground floor or via the building (a few steps) to reach the accommodation. Spread over three floors and offering around 140 mÂČ of space, the flat combines volume, privacy and comfort â a real favourite.
Main floor (1st floor of the building): Here you will find a fully fitted and equipped kitchen: hob, oven, extractor hood, dishwasher, microwave, Nespresso machine, toaster, kettle, blender... Everything you need is there. The light-filled living room is the ideal place to get together: comfortable sofa, large smart TV, convivial table for sharing meals, all with a view of the square in Rouen. Also on this level: a first bedroom with its own shower room and WC, as well as direct access to the patio, a real outdoor cocoon for special moments.
Lower level (ground floor of the building): Downstairs, you will find the garage, a very practical laundry room (washing machine, tumble dryer, ironing equipment) and a second bedroom with its own shower room â perfect for preserving everyone's independence, whether with family or friends.
On the top floor, a third bedroom awaits you, with its own shower room: high-end comfort and ideal layout, with each space retaining its privacy.
Bed linen and towels are provided. The accommodation is managed by the L'ArchiDuchesse concierge service, available 7 days a week from 10:00 to 12:30 and from 14:00 to 21:00. Please take care of the premises and respect the neighbourhood.

## Neighbourhood
Rue Charles-Lepneveu is a very pleasant spot for travellers: you are right in the historic centre of Rouen (right bank), in an area that is both very central and quieter than the more touristy streets. Just around the corner is âpicture-postcard Rouenâ: old buildings, narrow streets, heritage, museums... and everything is within walking distance. You are literally at the foot of a cultural hub: the Villon Heritage Library is just opposite. A few steps away, the Saint-Godard Church (flamboyant Gothic/Renaissance) adds a lot of charm to the neighbourhood, and you are very close to several must-see attractions (museums, old town).
The area is also being enhanced with the creation of a pedestrian esplanade of around 1,500 mÂČ between Saint-Godard Church and the neighbouring cultural zone: perfect for strolling, sitting down and enjoying the atmosphere of the centre without being âstuckâ in the crowd. Square Verdrel is a 2-minute walk away; the ideal place to enjoy a green park in Rouen and for your little ones to have fun in the playground!
On the practical side: you are at the heart of the Astuce network (bus/TEOR) which crosses the city centre and quickly connects the right bank to the left bank and the major hubs.
## Transit
