About this property
Le Refuge d'Henriette Historic Center Vannes 4 pers
Le Refuge d’HENRIETTE
You will enjoy 43 m² (463 sq ft) located on the second floor of a house built in 1602.
The apartment features a fully equipped modern kitchen (including spices, oil, vinegar, etc.), a bathroom with a shower and washing machine, Wi-Fi, a TV with DVD player, and a CD/Bluetooth player, offering all the comfort of modern living. We also provide a small library with books, DVDs, and CDs for your enjoyment.
The bedroom has a large 160 × 200 cm bed, and in the main living area there is a 140 × 200 cm sofa bed, suitable for two additional guests.
Your holidays are among the most important moments of the year. Our mission is to offer you an extraordinary experience—one of wonder, a break from everyday life, and the creation of joyful, lasting memories.
Le Refuge d’HENRIETTE is our personal favorite, and we love sharing it with guests who appreciate its historic charm and unique character.
In 2017, we fell in love with this property. The renovation took over a year and was completed at the end of 2018, breathing new life into these ancient walls while adding modern comfort. We named the apartment HENRIETTE after his daughter Henrietta, Queen of England, who once found refuge on this very street. They are therefore contemporaries within this house built in 1602 on even older foundations.
We hope your stay will remain a cherished memory!

About the host
Hosted by Danièle de Lutzel
We are a French-German couple with deep family roots in this old French town. After many years spent in Germany and in Paris, we decided to move back and make this city our home . I'm an ethnologist, textile artist and economist.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with these apartments with a majestic view within the old walls of the historic city. We bought them and painstakingly worked in renovating this place to revive its historical value while introducing modern creature comforts. We want to give all our guests an experience of not just visiting another pretty city in France but also travel through time in history. We have named our apartments Henri and Henrietta, after Henri IV, king of France and his daughter Henriette, queen of England, who had found refuge on this street where the apartment stands today. Both were contemporaries of the time when this house was built in 1602. We hope that you will have a memorable stay.
What makes this property unique
The reason we bought this place wasn't very rational, from an investment point of view it was even illogical. Both of us love the ancient and this house was love at first sight. The view was so unique I felt like getting an easel and start painting right away! The staircase smelt of incense and I've since tried to find the reason without success. Rumor has it that there was a candle and incense shop and production site on the ground floor that catered for the cathedral. There are also sayings of a tunnel to the cathedral. The bishop in the middle ages probably had his palace on these grounds. It was destroyed in 1286 and nobody knows for sure. All that is left are the legends people tell...
