A beautifully restored public building, repurposed as a bespoke guest house. Lovely period features and an Art Deco theme with lots of interesting touches throughout the house. Off road, private parking, a tranquil walled garden with swimming pool and easy walking distance to all Rouen’s amenities. The owners, Pascal and Sandrine were very welcoming and attentive and were able to offer ideas for dining out and sightseeing during our stay.
Be aware that the signage for the property is very discreet, but Google Maps took us to the door - it’s just not obvious.

We spent a night at L'Esprit du 8 on our way to Northern Spain and received a warm and friendly welcome from our hosts Sandrine and Pascal, who went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and interesting. The property is cool and spacious with its own interesting history, and the lovely garden was the perfect place for our generous breakfast the following morning. Sandrine and Pascal sent us an online guide to Rochefort before our arrival which was a nice touch and extremely helpful for us, allowing us to book a restaurant for dinner in advance. L'Esprit du 8 is a gem - we were sorry our stay was so short and would love to return. Sincere thanks to Sandrine and Pascal!

To qualify we have stayed in hotels across the world and in France in particular - we are not new to hotels. The entire experience of D'Esprit du 8 was unsurpassed as Pascal and Sandrine take extra steps to ensure comfort and happiness with a stay there. The rooms are fascinating and interesting, assisted by their passion for furniture and objet d'art. But without being overpowering, just a great quality of hotel. Only once before in our lives have we returned again to the same hotel but if we are ever seeking accommodation on the west coast of France, we shall be booking there.
Nothing is perfect but L'Esprit du 8 comes damn close as a hotel.

We’ve just got married and are taking a mini moon through France. We have a large ranger rover, towing a trailer. The roads in the towns are small with tight parking but the owners of L,esprit did everything they could to help us get comfortable. Greeting us late in the evening and helping to park the car and the trailer. The next day we were up a little later as we have a baby and thought we had missed lunch but the hosts insisted we stay and made us breakfast even though we had missed the time.

Absolutely everything. Wonderful property decorated superbly. The bedrooms are so comfortable and everything needed available. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful, with fresh, local ingredients. The garden and pool were immaculate. Rochefort is a very interesting town with beautiful buildings and historical monuments. We could easily walk to the many excellent restaurants and bars. Pascale and Sandrine are wonderful hosts. Highly recommend.
Loved it all.

A very unique property in Rochefort. Most attentive and charming couple - Sandrine and Pascal- who made our 3 night stay a whole experience. Large , inviting common spaces for guest use. Full breakfast. Honour bar. Good access to interesting sites and restaurants.
Ask for a room facing the garden if you might be disturbed by the street noise.

By far the most beautiful B&B I’ve ever seen, with the friendliest people and most delicious breakfast. I wanted to move in forever! Seeing if I can get myself adopted by Sandrine and Pascal. 😆
Nothing! Or maybe the fact that I don’t actually live there.

Having travelled a lot for both work and pleasure this has to be one of the nicest places we have stayed. The attention to detail throughout the property and garden is so impressive. The quality of fixtures and fittings and the furniture is just amazing. Location is excellent with everything you could need within a few minutes walk. Hiring the bikes and cycling towards Fouras is a must and then a relax in the pool is the perfect way to unwind. Pascal and Sandrine as the most lovely people, they can not do enough for you, their local knowledge is so useful when planning days out. Not forgetting Tweetie the cat!The smallest touches such as being greeted by name in a morning is such a simple thing yet so often lost in hospitality and it meant so much to us. The breakfast is amazing, every changing pastry’s and juices not forgetting Pascals sunny side up eggs! We could not recommend this place enough. One line summary It’s amazing, you have to visit!

This is an exceptional chambres d'hotes, with carefully decorated rooms in a historic building. However, they are the hosts who make the difference. A place one must see. Breakfast was great and the facilities excellent.
