Logis du Roi, Seigniorial home in Amiens, France.

Logis du Roi is a brick-and-stone building in central Amiens, rebuilt around 1520 in the Flamboyant Gothic style. It rises two levels with mullioned windows, and an octagonal tower set outside the main wall holds a spiral staircase across four floors. It connects with the neighbouring Maison du Sagittaire.

The house originally came under the control of the cathedral chapter but passed around 1520 to Jean de la Forge, general receiver of Picardy finances. It later became a residence for high-ranking figures of that era.

The name comes from a stay by Louis XIII, though the house was already called the governor's residence after the state bought it in 1565. Look for the blue plaque on the brick and the small blue shield on the tower; the building communicates with the neighbouring Maison du Sagittaire.

The site sits in the town center and is reachable by walking from the main square through several streets. It works best to visit during daylight hours so you can see the facade and courtyard details clearly.

Richelieu is said to have stayed here in 1636 during the siege of Corbie, not Arras; two assassination attempts against him reportedly failed when Gaston d'Orléans, implicated in the plot, withdrew to Blois on 20 October. Louis XIII later stayed in the house during the siege of Arras in 1640.
