History and setting

Getting there
Rouen Rive Droite station is about 1.1 km away: a walk along Boulevard des Belges, about six minutes by car, or about 12 minutes on the T4 line from the Belges stop. Direct trains link Rouen with Paris Saint-Lazare. Drivers use the hotel's private parking, reached by a small lane on the right just before the entrance.
