Rural Countryside and Natural Area

La Sauvetat-Sur-Lède is considered a rural, green village. Agricultural land accounts for 79 percent of its area, with a further 15 percent made up of forests and meadows. These proportions may gradually change. The “Vallées de la Lède, de la Leyze et du Laussou” is a continental type II ZNIEFF, includes La Sauvetat-sur-Lède and covers 2,734.96 hectares. The land-use proportions and designated natural area provide specific points of reference when choosing a place to stay in a rural setting.

Château Saint-Sulpice and Église Saint-Michel

Château Saint-Sulpice is located in Saint-Sulpice in La Sauvetat-sur-Lède. Its oldest section dates from the 17th century and includes a courtyard, a gateway dated 1621 and a fortified tower. The specific year of the gateway supplements the century designation: the date of this architectural feature is more precise than the overall dating of the oldest section. A registration order dated October 4, 2007, protects the château's residence and icehouse as historic monuments.

The Église Saint-Michel has Romanesque origins, a bell-tower porch and a nave supported by buttresses. These features refer to different aspects: the origins provide a historical context, while the bell-tower porch and buttresses describe elements of the architectural form. A washhouse also tells the story of the old center of La Sauvetat.

Circular Route and Local Offerings
