In 1270 the Hotel de Bourgogne (Burgundy) is built for king Louis IX's son, the count of Artois. The hotel is strategically built next to the Philippe Auguste wall that protects Paris, such that it is easy to go from the hotel to most locations in Paris using the footpath on the wall. In 1369, after a wedding between the Artois and Bourgogne families the hotel becomes a possession of the Bourgogne family.
