Home description
La Ballerie is located on the edge of the pretty village of Melleran and is within a 2 minute walk of the local bakers and a fine restaurant bar.
It is quiet and peaceful yet only 5 minutes from two busy market towns which have all the usual shops and other amenities. The larger cities of Poitiers, Angouleme and Niort are all less than an hour of trouble free motoring away and the bustling seaside resort of La Rochelle just over an hour.
