Welcome to the Republic of Saugeais

“We’ve been living in the Saugeais region since 2017, and we hope to stay here for many years to come. Here, in this land of traditions, nature is right on our doorstep. It offers spectacular scenery and countless opportunities for people of all ages.”

Here, you can shut yourself off from the world and spend peaceful days, or find yourself caught up in wild human adventures and end up going home… lying in a wheelbarrow!

"Le Saugeais seems tucked away behind the fir trees, and yet it has everything one could want. Sure, the climate is harsh, but that’s what makes life less mundane."

“My husband is from Ville-du-Pont, and I’m from Les Alliés. When we got married in 1983, we never considered living anywhere other than the Saugeais region: we built our home and raised our little family in La Longeville.”

"Why Le Saugeais? Because we feel at home here. We wouldn’t leave our fir trees for anything in the world, and what a joy it is to fall asleep to the sound of bells! Le Saugeais is a place—the home of the Saugets and Saugettes—but it’s also a spirit."

“As children of the Saugeais region, we have always been fascinated by the stories and legends surrounding our little Republic.”

"As members of several organizations, we talk about Saugeais every time we attend or host an event."

“Having called the Saugeais region home for over half a century now, I never imagined living anywhere else!”

With grandparents, parents, and cousins for whom speaking Sauget was—and still is—a source of pride, it’s always a real joy to try to figure out what our elders are trying to tell us!

"As a child, the Saugeais anthem was like a lesson in the local dialect. Even today, this song echoes from hamlet to hamlet during the New Year. What a joy it is to hear it accompanied by the sound of bugles!"
