Origin and history

The villa "Sans Souci" is an iconic 20th century building located in the Sables-d'Olonne department of Vendée. It is distinguished by its architecture and decorative elements, including an arcade gallery opening onto the rue de la Plage, as well as a winter garden decorated with ceramics and painted canvases. These characteristics led him to a partial designation as historic monuments in 1988, highlighting his heritage and artistic interest.

The villa was designed by architect Maurice Durand, whose name is associated with this architectural project. The inscription under the title of historical monuments, effective by decree of 29 December 1988, specifically concerns the arcade gallery and the part of the villa housing the winter garden, including its interior decor. These protected elements reflect the style and decorative techniques in vogue in the 20th century, while testifying to the local history and urban development of the Sables-d'Olonne.

Located on 4 rue de la Plage, the villa "Sans Souci" is part of the architectural landscape of the city, marked by its seaside heritage and bourgeois residences. Although its current use (visit, rental, accommodation) is not specified in the available sources, its status as a historic monument makes it a place of interest for the preservation of the vendean heritage and the study of 20th century residential architecture.
