Hotel-Restaurant A la Croix d'Or

This family-run hotel is located in Sessenheim, an Alsatian village famous for a significant episode in literary history.

Between 1770 and 1771, the young Johann Wolfgang Goethe, then a law student in Strasbourg, had a romance there with Frédérique Brion, the daughter of the village pastor.

This brief relationship inspired several of his works and contributed to his lasting fame.
