Sales: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes
Culture
Pont Coppet was built on the orders of the Duke of Savoy, Charles Emmanuel I, to improve the connection between Chambéry and Geneva. The stone bridge has a single semicircular arch. Its construction shortened the route between Rumilly and Vallières by more than one lieue, or approximately 5 kilometres. The bridge as a whole has been listed as a historic monument by a decree dated 4 November 2015.
The Church of Saint Peter was rebuilt between 1645 and 1650 in place of a dilapidated medieval Romanesque sanctuary. In 1864, it was demolished and rebuilt in the Neo-Gothic style.
La Chapelle du Pessey was built by the hamlet's residents at the end of the 19th century and received stained-glass windows in 1977. The chapel also underwent a second restoration, the work on which was completed in 2009 and lasted two years. Le Puits du Mollard was built in the 19th century.
Local Life
The Sales weekly market takes place every Tuesday from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Place de la Mairie. Cheese, traditionally made bread and honey, as well as seasonal fruit and vegetables, are sold there. Approximately ten vendors have stalls at the market.
The desire to rent a holiday apartment in Sales is part of personal travel planning.
