FILM & PHOTOGRAPHY

An Extraordinary Location for Film and Photography

50 Hectares · Private Estate · Exclusive Use · Vienne, France

THE LOCATION

A Setting Unlike Anything Else

Forge offers an extraordinary private setting for film productions, fashion shoots, commercial photography, and editorial projects. Across 50 hectares of private parkland, the estate combines architectural drama with natural beauty — from the Greek Temple and Temple of Love to the grand library, formal dining hall, courtyard with white marble fountain, and three tranquil lakes.

LOCATIONS ON THE ESTATE

Six Extraordinary Settings

The Courtyard at Dusk

Stone walls, a white marble fountain, and dramatic evening skies. One of the most photographed spaces on the estate — equally stunning at golden hour or under floodlight.

The Temple of Love

A classical marble rotunda rising from the woodland edge. Romantic, otherworldly, and completely unlike any other location in rural France.

The Greek Temple

A full-scale Greek temple set in open parkland with 360-degree views. Dramatic for period productions, fashion editorials, and architectural photography.

The Private Lakes

Three tranquil lakes reflecting sky and woodland. Exceptional for nature documentaries, fashion shoots, and any production requiring serene water landscapes.

The Sculptured Grounds

Ancient stone gateways, guardian sculptures, and hidden paths leading through the estate. Every corner offers a new and unexpected backdrop.

Ancient Woodland

Dappled spring light filtering through ancient trees. 50 hectares of private woodland offering natural, atmospheric backdrops for any production.
