This week in the agenda

Château de Souché stands in Saint-Aignan-Grandlieu (Loire-Atlantique), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second quarter of the 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The château de Souché stands in Saint-Aignan-Grandlieu, between the Loire river and Lac de Grand-Lieu, at the heart of a wine estate still in operation today. The buildings, dating from the second quarter of the 19th century, are notable for their press house and cellar built in a rustic style inspired by Italian architecture. The estate has belonged to the same family since 1848, who continue to produce Muscadet wine there. What visitors find here is mainly a farming and winemaking heritage rather than a stately residence.

What to know

  • The estate is open five days a week, during hours set by the owners.
  • A visit here is oriented toward the wine domain and tastings rather than a classic heritage tour.
  • Only the façades and roofs of the Italian-style buildings (outbuildings, wine stores, orangery, dovecote in particular) are protected as historic monuments.
  • The château lies about 15 kilometres southwest of Nantes, making it easy to reach for a short outing.
  • No admission fee or visit duration is set for the heritage part, as a visit is generally linked to a wine purchase or tasting.
