Culture and History
The Château de Sablé was rebuilt in the 18th century by Jean-Baptiste Colbert de Torcy. The Notre-Dame church contains an exceptional stained-glass window from the late 15th century, which is classified as a “Monument historique”.
A guided walking tour of the town reveals the cultural heritage of Sablé-sur-Sarthe in the town centre. It includes the Château de Sablé, a church and medieval houses, and also covers the history of shipping and Sablé’s industrial past. The Sablé-sur-Sarthe SNCF railway station is 1 km from the starting point of the tour.
The small “A l’Homme Volant” museum is located in a half-timbered house in the historic centre. It is dedicated to the conquest of the air. The Festival de Sablé is also part of the town’s cultural profile: it is a prime example of the rediscovery of music on historical instruments and has supported the creation of most of the Baroque ensembles that have joined this initiative for more than 40 years.
