Drinks Reception and Conference Dinner—L'Ancienne Douane

Located in the heart of the old Strasbourg quarter, along the Ill River, this well known building is five to six centuries old. Built in 1358, this monument was the original entry into the Strasbourg harbour. The Cathedral wasn't yet built when the L'Ancienne Douane was erected on the edge of the Ill River. Be it the stain-glass windows or the mural paintings, the rich decorations of the place are the result of so many years of eventful history. Serving traditional Alsatian food such as foie gras and renowned local wines like Riesling, this is the perfect setting for delegates to have a taste of the world famous Alsace gastronomy.
