Chateau d’Etoges
Rue Richebourg, Etoges 51270, Champagne-Ardenne

Hotel du Dragon
2 rue de l'écarlate, Strasbourg 67000

The name of the Hotel du Dragon is linked to the Drachenfels family who acquired the property in 1466 – a title which, in German, literally means ‘cliff of the dragon’.


It should be noted, however, that the first mention of the hotel is to be found more than a century earlier when it was known as Hotel Endingen. By 1418, though, the building had become the residence of the Emperor Sigismond.


It isn’t until the late seventeenth century, however, that we find the hotel linked to a household historic name. Arriving in late October 1681, Louis XIV stayed for several days at the Hotel du Dragon while inspecting his new territories.

Make no mistake, Chateau d’Etoges is a pretty exclusive hotel. Situated in its own wooded parkland on the route between Starsbourg and Paris, this beautiful building is surrounded by a moat and numerous fountains and ponds. Accommodating guests since 1991, Chateau d’Etoges dates back to the 12th century with modifications having been made in the 16th.

The Chateau was used by several Kings of France as a staging post when travelling to their eastern dominions -
Louis XIV, the Sun King, was particularly taken with the water features, and it is also said that Louis XVI stayed here during his flight to Varennes in 1791. Napoleon is also thought to have visited.
