Presentation

In Rouen, at the marina, you have a unique opportunity to stay on the Zimon, a Dutch boat carefully designed to accommodate up to four guests. This atypical lodging experience invites you to live an extraordinary moment, away from the usual standards of land-based hotels.

Thanks to its recent renovation, the Zimon offers a comfortable and modern setting. The boat includes two cozy bedrooms, each equipped to ensure your comfort, with clean bed linens and towels. The two adjoining bathrooms offer notable convenience, especially if you're sharing the space with family or friends.

The Zimon's kitchen is fully equipped, allowing visitors to prepare their meals just like at home. The dining area, located next to the kitchen, is perfect for intimate dinners or quiet breakfasts. For those who enjoy al fresco dining, a terrace offers a splendid view of the river, ideal for savoring a morning coffee or a dinner under the stars.

Technology is not left behind, as the living room and one of the bedrooms are equipped with flat-screen satellite TVs. This modern touch is perfect for those who wish to stay connected or simply enjoy a movie night on board.

The boat is anchored at a prime location in Rouen, just steps away from the Seine docks, allowing easy access to various local attractions. Despite its tranquil setting, the city center is quickly accessible, offering a plethora of options for shopping, dining, and culture.

For families, the Zimon is equipped to safely accommodate children, with a baby safety gate and a picnic area to enjoy sunny days worry-free. The continental breakfast served each morning ensures a pleasant and hassle-free start to the day.

Privacy and security are also taken seriously on the Zimon. The private entrance and surveillance ensure that your stay proceeds in the utmost discretion and safety.

Although the boat is not offered for navigation, its upper deck is arranged to provide additional relaxation space. During warmer months, a sofa and table on the outdoor deck invite you to relax while admiring the river landscape.

It is important to note that during the colder months, the boat's capacity is limited to two people to ensure everyone's comfort. Moreover, the Zimon is a non-smoking and pet-free space, which helps maintain a healthy and pleasant environment for all guests.

The city of Rouen itself offers numerous activities and sites to discover. The majestic Notre-Dame Cathedral, a few kilometers from the port, is a must-see for architecture and history enthusiasts. The Kindarena sports complex is also nearby, offering various sports and cultural events throughout the year.

For gastronomy lovers, the restaurant "La Couronne" is the oldest inn in France still in operation and offers Norman specialties in a historical setting. For an enriching cultural experience, the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rouen, one of France's leading museums, offers an impressive collection of works ranging from the Middle Ages to modern times.

The Zimon offers a unique experience for those looking to combine comfort, originality, and the discovery of Rouen. Whether you're on a business trip or a romantic getaway, this unusual accommodation will make your stay memorable. Why not be tempted by a different adventure on your next visit to Rouen?
