To make a day of it

Villa Coëtihuel stands in Sarzeau (Morbihan), in the Bretagne region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: first quarter of the 20th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In Sarzeau, the Coëtihuel villa stands along the road linking Arzon to the town centre, in an eclectic style blending medieval revival, Art Nouveau and early regionalist influences. Built in 1908 by architect Paul-Joseph Courcoux, it is notable for its asymmetrical north façade decorated with flamed stoneware, the work of ceramicist Alexandre Bigot. Visitors come here for the architecture, seen from the public road rather than through an interior tour.
