A weekend in the footsteps of famous writers!

The continuation of our series devoted to literary hotels takes you into the historic heart of Rouen, right by Place du Vieux-Marché. The Best Western Hôtel Littéraire Gustave Flaubert pays tribute to the author of Madame Bovary in the city where he was born and where he spent most of his life.

Your literary journey begins inside the hotel, which carries you through the writer’s worlds according to his novels: Madame Bovary, Un cœur simple, and Bouvard et Pécuchet on the ground floor, L’Éducation sentimentale on the 1st floor, Salammbô on the 3rd… A fascinating pilgrimage to extend by visiting the neighbouring museum dedicated to the novelist. The novelistic décor elegantly blends contemporary design with Second Empire armchairs. In this 4-star hotel, every room is personalised around a work, a character, a place or a close friend of Flaubert.

In the evening, choose one of Flaubert’s works among the 500 (translated into more than 20 languages) available at the hotel, so you can continue this literary getaway in your dreams as you sleep.

By choosing this hotel in Rouen, you ensure a stay without bovarysme!
