The Château de Sauvan is an 18th-century French manor located in the commune of Mane. The gardens of the chateau are classified as one of the Remarkable Gardens of France by the French Ministry of Culture. Today it is privately owned.
The château was built between 1719 and 1720 by Marquis Joseph Palamède de Forbin-Janson, on a plan of the architect Jean-Baptiste Franque from Avignon.
The château is in the form of classical one-story rectangle, with a balcony supported by four columns and a triangular pediment. The roof is hidden behind a balustrade. During the French Revolution the pediment was damaged by hammers, but otherwise the building suffered little damage.

Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
