Logis et chapelle de l'Audrière stands in Saint-Mesmin (Vendée), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The Audrière logis and chapel form a seigneurial complex established in Saint-Mesmin from the 15th century onward. The main building retains its medieval layout, while the chapel added in the following century displays a meticulously crafted Renaissance doorway and a ribbed vault. The property bears the history of the Tallensac family, who took possession in 1577.
