Excellent séjour dans ce bel appartement au charme de l'ancien.

L'appartement est impeccable, très bien situé dans une rue calme du vieux Caen. Gérald est un hôte charmant et a répondu rapidement à mes demandes. Je recommande vivement.

Perfect location and well equipped, clean apartment

Excellent location for exploring the old city and visiting the main sights. Also plenty of restaurants nearby to choose from. Rue Froide had many independent shops to enjoy.

The location of this flat is great. The check in and comms with the proprietor were also good. The things that weren't so great: no toilet paper, no dish soap, no top sheet on the bed, bedding did not appear freshly washed, fact it's up 37 stairs is never identified. I'm glad I am young enough and strong enough to lug my full sized suit case up there. I feel for those who aren't.

Het appartement was zalig ingericht. Je stapt buiten en je vindt meteen leven in de stad. Het appartement is van alles voorzien om ook een stay at home dagje te hebben.

About the host

Hosted by Host

The owners of Icone Collection are passionate about real estate and history. They do everything in their power to make their guests feel at home in the accomodations they provide and each of the properties in their portfolio has a specific history.

L'Expérience d'Elie is no exception to the rule: when the city of Caen modernized at the start of the 20th century, the main changes concerned the education facilities.
Thus, the separation of church and state in 1905 gave the city the opportunity to build a high school for young girls on the grounds of the Ursuline convent destroyed in 1910. The high school (now the College Pasteur), of which Jules Oyer was the architect, opened in 1914.
Likewise, established here for centuries, the old university has extended and occupied then the area between the streets Pasteur, aux Namps, Saint-Sauveur and the bedside of the old Saint-Sauveur. It had been partly destroyed by the bombardments of 1944 and the whole district has been razed to be rebuilt except for the church of Old Saint Sauveur, the pastor college and ... 1 rue Elie de Beaumont!
