Le 38, F2 de charme rénové proche Vieux-Marché

## Space

Step inside Le Trente-Huit and settle in right in the heart of Rouen's Rive Droite district, on Rue Jean Lecanuet. Here you are in an authentic Rouen building, just a few steps from the famous Place du Vieux Marché, the Town Hall and a 5-minute walk from Rouen station. Everything can be done on foot: stroll through the cobbled streets, sit down in a good restaurant, go to your business meeting or settle down comfortably to work remotely in a warm atmosphere.

Completely renovated in November 2025, Le Trente-Huit is an elegant one-bedroom flat with chic and intimate touches that highlight the charm of Normandy: high ceilings, mouldings and oak parquet flooring. As soon as you enter, you will discover a pleasant living room bathed in a cosy atmosphere, with its open-plan kitchen. The lounge invites you to relax: a comfortable sofa bed to unwind after a day of sightseeing, a television for cosy evenings, and a high table with four chairs for sharing a meal, working or planning your day. The fully equipped kitchen allows you to cook as if you were at home: hob, microwave, fridge with freezer compartment, kettle, toaster, Nespresso coffee machine and a wide selection of kitchen utensils. Everything has been designed to make your stay simple and convenient, whether you are staying for one night or several days.

The bedroom is intimate and relaxing, with a double bed (140x200 cm) where you can curl up after exploring the city. A side table provides a place to put your computer and work comfortably if needed, while storage space is available to make you feel at home. The bathroom, adjoining the bedroom, has a shower, toilet and washing machine, a real bonus for longer stays.

Bed linen and towels are provided for your comfort for two people. If you wish to use the sofa bed, towels are available at an additional cost of €12. Just ask us. It is important to note that the sofa bed is small (120x183). There is no private parking space, but you will easily find parking on the street or in the Vieux Marché pay-and-display car park. The accommodation is managed by the ArchiDuchesse concierge service, available 7 days a week from 10:00 to 12:30 and from 14:00 to 21:00.

## Neighbourhood

The Vieux-Marché district is one of the most iconic and historic places in Rouen, Normandy, France. It is located in the heart of the city and is a central location for Rouen's history, architectural heritage and social life.

1. History
The Vieux-Marché is particularly famous for its connection to Joan of Arc. It was on this square, in 1431, that the famous French heroine was sentenced to death and burned alive after her trial. A small symbolic pyre marks the exact spot where this tragic event took place. This square therefore embodies a large part of the collective memory of France and Rouen.

2. Place du Vieux-Marché
Place du Vieux-Marché is a lively meeting place in Rouen. Today, it is surrounded by half-timbered buildings typical of Normandy, giving the neighbourhood a unique medieval atmosphere. These half-timbered houses are often well preserved and now house cafés, restaurants and shops. The terraces on the square are particularly popular for enjoying the atmosphere.

3. Sainte-Jeanne-d'Arc Church
The Sainte-Jeanne-d'Arc Church, built in 1979, is a modern monument that contrasts with the traditional architecture of the surrounding area. This church was built in homage to Joan of Arc and has a bold design in the shape of an inverted boat, reminiscent of both Viking longships and Normandy's maritime history. Inside, there are magnificent stained glass windows salvaged from the former Saint-Vincent Church, which was destroyed during the Second World War.

4. Atmosphere and social life
The Vieux-Marché district is one of the liveliest places in Rouen, particularly due to its many restaurants, bars and terraces. It is a popular destination for both tourists and locals. In summer, the terraces are particularly lively, and in winter, the Christmas markets bring a festive atmosphere.

5. Gastronomy
In addition to its historical sites, the neighbourhood is renowned for its gastronomy. There are several establishments where you can sample typical Norman dishes, such as the famous apple tart, camembert and oysters. Many traditional restaurants offer dishes made with local produce.

6. Market and shops
Although the Place du Vieux-Marché has lost its original role as the central market (most markets are now held in other parts of the city), it remains an important place for local businesses. The market is often still active on certain days, offering fresh, local produce to Rouen residents and visitors alike.

## Transport

Thanks to its location, you have access to all forms of transport nearby.

1. Public transport (bus and metro)
Rouen is served by a bus and metro network operated by the company Astuce.
