# Space
Let yourself be charmed by this duplex apartment, nestled just 2 minutes from the station and a few steps from the historic centre (7 minutes on foot). On the second floor of a secure, quiet and peaceful three-storey building dating from the late 1800s. Madame Capitaine is an accommodation designed as an urban cottage combining authenticity and comfort. This unique place pays tribute to the history of Rouen with its exposed beams, period half-timbering and marble fireplace. The space was completely renovated in 2024 and designed with high-quality materials and products. Every detail has been carefully selected to offer you a unique experience: vintage furniture, works of art, queen-size bedding and a pleasant shower for a timeless break. Fully equipped, this cosy apartment is the ideal place for a romantic getaway or an immersive stay in the Norman capital.
On the ground floor, this accommodation has a spacious and comfortable, beautifully decorated living room that can accommodate four people, with a marble fireplace (decorative), a comfortable sofa bed and documentation. The fully fitted and equipped kitchen (Nespresso coffee machine, oven, hob, toaster, kettle, etc.) will allow you to prepare delicious meals, just like at home.

A hairdryer and shower gel are provided, as well as storage space.

The apartment is also located next to a laundrette, in case you are in a hurry to dry your clothes.
Upstairs, in the bright and comfortable blue bedroom, there is a queen-size bed with a comfortable mattress from the French brand Kipli, a king-size duvet (perfect for couples), bedside tables on either side of the bed with reading lamps and a large wardrobe with ample storage space for clothes.

Let yourself be seduced by this gentle interlude and embark on an unforgettable experience in the heart of Normandy. Are you ready to cast off with Madame Capitaine? Victor's father is from Normandy and the first time we visited Rouen, we fell in love with the city's historic charm, architecture and culinary culture (we eat well on every visit and are always trying new restaurants), so we decided to buy an apartment to create a beautiful pied-à-terre that we could use ourselves and share with our friends, family and guests.
Madame Capitaine is named after Victor's grandmother - that was her nickname - and is inspired by the maritime history of the Norman capital. We love to travel, eat well, cook, visit art exhibitions, read and walk in the woods at the weekend with our little dog Indy. We hope you enjoy your stay at Madame Capitaine as much as we do! »
