Transforming an Exceptional Heritage Site on the Hills Above Rouen

Le Domaine – Bois-Guillaume EN

Nestled within landscaped parkland, Le Domaine, located in Bois-Guillaume on the hills overlooking Rouen, offers a harmonious blend of prestigious architectural heritage and contemporary elegance.

Creating an Inclusive Neighbourhood for All

Situated on the hills above Rouen, this major residential development is transforming a three-hectare site formerly owned by Rouen University Hospital (CHU).

Combining the restoration of historic buildings with new residential construction, the project creates a harmonious dialogue between heritage and modernity.

The development will provide 398 homes, including:

  • 79 homes developed in partnership with the Rouen Public Housing Office;
  • 26 homes in partnership with Elbeuf Boucles de Seine Habitat;
  • 22 homes for Foyer Stéphanais;
  • 132 intermediate-rent homes in partnership with 3F Normanvie;
  • Private market homes, contributing to a socially diverse and vibrant residential community.

In addition, ground-floor commercial and business premises ranging from 250 to 520 sq m, together with the conversion of a former central chapel into a restaurant, will help stimulate the local economy and strengthen the neighbourhood’s urban fabric.

A Natural Setting in the Heart of the City

Opposite Andersen Park and just a seven-minute walk from Parc de l’Argilière, Le Domaine perfectly reflects Bois-Guillaume’s garden-city character.

The town has been awarded three flowers in France’s Villes et Villages Fleuris competition, recognising its commitment to landscaping and quality of life.

For nature enthusiasts, the nearby Forêt Verte forest is just a ten-minute cycle ride away, providing an ideal setting for outdoor activities and peaceful escapes.

Timeless Architecture Combining Heritage and Modernity

The development showcases an exceptional landscaped residential park.

The restored historic buildings feature traditional regional slate roofs, complemented by solid timber façades incorporating terraces and continuous balconies.

The new buildings adopt a contemporary architectural style, combining timber cladding with natural tones to create a bright, warm and harmonious environment.

Le Domaine offers a wide selection of apartments featuring spacious balconies, open-air terraces or private gardens, providing generous outdoor living spaces.

Combining the character of historic architecture with contemporary comfort, the homes range from welcoming one-bedroom apartments to spacious four-bedroom properties.

A Development Designed to Minimise Its Environmental Footprint

Developed with ambitious environmental objectives, Le Domaine incorporates a range of initiatives to preserve biodiversity and reduce its environmental impact.

The development will be connected to a district heating network powered by 80% renewable energy, supporting a more sustainable approach to residential energy consumption.

It will also encourage the use of shared electric vehicles through dedicated charging points, a booking application and other mobility solutions designed to promote more environmentally responsible travel.

Excellent Connectivity, Services and Local Amenities

Ideally located, Le Domaine benefits from excellent public transport connections, with three bus routes serving the development.

The Fast 1 bus service provides access to central Rouen in just 11 minutes and the Bois de la Ronce development zone in seven minutes.

These convenient transport links make everyday journeys easier while providing residents with access to Bois-Guillaume’s wide range of amenities, including shops, schools and sports facilities.

A selection of shops and services will also be available within the development itself, with ground-floor commercial premises designed to meet residents’ everyday needs and enhance the attractiveness of the neighbourhood.
