We had a wonderful stay at this lovely place. Janine, the owner, was so kind and helpful. We took the bus into Rouen, and it was close by and easy to use. There are two markets nearby plus a weekly farmer’s market. The kitchen was well stocked and we ate several dinners in after spending full days driving around the easily accessible countryside. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you, Janine!

Great stay near Rouen

A lovely place with a welcoming and helpful host who lives on site. Rouen is easily accessed with frequent buses. The place is secure and quiet (The church next door only rang its bells on Sunday) with a very pretty garden. The garden can only be accessed up a flight of steps outside so not accessible for all. Everything was as described, although the Internet is not fast. We had a great stay at Janine’s place exploring Rouen and the surrounding area.

For our FIVE night stay, only One small roll of toilet paper was provided. There was a minuscule amount of soap in the bathroom, and no soap or shampoo in the shower. We had to search all the cupboards to find the towels. The bed linen is rough, and the pillow cases don’t fit North American style pillows. On the positive side our host was easy to communicate with, and when asked she gave us extra soap and toilet paper as well as some detergent for the washing machine (much appreciated).I could not find any reference in English to the cleaning fee, but we paid it nonetheless

Das Künstlerhaus liegt in einem Vorort von Rouen, dennoch ist es nachts absolut ruhig. Es hat Charme und bietet auf engen Raum jeden Komfort. Es eignet sich sehr gut als Ausgangspunkt für Besichtigungen von Rouen ( sehr leicht mit dem Stadtbus erreichbar ), den wundervollen Abteien St. Martin und Jumieges - selbst der Traumgarten von Monet ist gut erreichbar.Die Gastgeberin ist sehr zuvorkommend. hilfreich und freundlich.Empfehlung für eine ungewöhnliche und schöne Unterkunft!

De l'arrivée au départ le séjour fut exemplaire d'autant que Janine nous a conseillé sur les musées et nous a consacré du temps pour des échanges et une visite de sa collection privée de tableaux. Le lieu est propre, fonctionnel, agréable avec son jardin, le quartier est calme et sa proximité avec Rouen en fait un hébergement idéal pour un séjour.Merci pour tout et au plaisir.

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans ce gîte très confortable. Bien aménagé avec tout le confort disponible. Un jardin, une terrasse, très appréciables en ces derniers jours d'été. Une très belle maison ancienne, où vécut un peintre et lithographe renommé, Marcel Peltier. Bien situé, à proximité de Rouen, accessible en voiture et surtout en transports en commun. Parking devant la maison ou près de l'église qui est en face. Nous avons été très bien accueillis par sa propriétaire, Janine, très disponible si besoin. Nous recommandons vivement ce gîte.

FeWo Chez Simone, Darnetal (Ruoen, Frankreich)

Schöne, kleine FeWo, gut ausgestattet (Mikrowelle, Backofen) im (alten) Anbau eines Fachwerkhaus aus dem 17. Jh. mit Rückseitigem kleinen, abgeschirmten Garten; Parkmöglichkeiten vor dem Haus; freundliche Vermieterin; Darnetal ist ein Vorort von Ruoen, ca. 4 - 5 km zum Stadtzentrum (ideal mit dem Fahrrad). In Darnetal gibt es alles fußläufig zu kaufen; Ortsbild: durch den Ort fließt ein Bach, die Robbec; am linken Ufer unschöne Betonklötze, rechts alte, stimmungsvolle (Fachwerk)Häuser. Guter Ausgangspunkt für Erkundung der östlichen Normandie und entlang der Seine. Wir sind gut erholt und sehr zufrieden. :-)
