The Selcouth: Clos de Jeanne, Honfleur, France

The Selcouth… the unfamiliar, the rare, the strange but marvelous.

Atmosphere trumps creature comforts in these writing nooks.

Stories lurk in corners, characters of vile repute hide in shadows, and angels waltz with the dust mites in these places… at least in a writer’s eyes they do.

Here is the first nook to find its way into The Selcouth…

“Clos de Jeanne” Studio
Honfleur, France

What more does a writer need other than a bed, some wine and atmosphere.

The ground floor Master’s study. Plum and gold highlight the Baroque-style woodwork in this 30 square meters studio complete with bathroom and kitchenette. Originally, the ground floor Master’s study, the price is certainly right for this hideaway at only $55 per night. Note: Bedlinen is included but not the towels.





Honfleur was a favorite for the impressionist painters who adored the light of this French fishing port...




Only 50 yards from the studio is the 15th century St. Catherine Church...

All images are linked to their sources, a delightful variety of fun sites to visit. 

And, so, here closes The Selcouth collection for the night. Fare thee well, my travelers. 

Until the next writing nook...
