Saché: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Culture

The Château de Saché is a Renaissance manor house built on the foundations of a 12th-century fortress. A cylindrical tower and part of the drained moat have been preserved.

The parish church of Saint-Martin-de-Vertou was built in the 12th century, extended in the 13th century, supplemented by a northern side aisle and a seigneurial chapel in the 16th century, and restored in 1870.

The Loge de vigne des Varennes de la Baubrie can be visited by collecting the key from Saché Town Hall. Inside, two information panels explain the history and architecture of the vineyard huts, as well as the techniques used in their restoration.

Since 1989, the Atelier Calder in Saché has been a place for artist residencies and artistic production. It is located in the former studio of US sculptor Alexander Calder.

The Atelier Calder offers public studio tours.

The “Totem” stabile was donated to the municipality of Saché in 1974 and placed in the village square.
