In Mouthiers-sur-Boëme, Charente, the Logis de Forge stands on a flat outcrop above the Boëme river, near a spring that once powered mills and a paper mill. The building combines a round tower with a spiral staircase and two square towers whose dormers bear carved animals, a monkey, an eagle, an elephant, alongside a scallop shell motif. The house itself remains private and closed to visitors, but its gardens, listed among the remarkable gardens of Charente, open to the public in summer.
