The Chateau Ripto is the wicked sorcerer Ripto's own "chateau" (French: castle, mansion) which also serves as his own secret lair as well, and it was where Spyro battled Ripto. Chateau Ripto has appeared in Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly, in which Ripto had a throne in the center of the room. It appears as a circle in the ground, not as a castle in this game.
