Stop into The Baker Hotel to read all about The Legend of Charlemagne and enjoy a chic and elegant dining experience at ROX City Grill.   When you leave you will notice the legend of the four sons of Charlemagne is now represented on the Main Street Bridge, monumental guardians of this community.  Today, St. Charles is truly a great community, the Pride of the Fox!
