Ballay is a French commune in the Ardennes department in the Champagne-Ardenne region of northern France. The inhabitants of the commune are known as ''Ballayriots'' or ''Ballayriottes''.〔(Inhabitants of Ardennes ) 〕 ==Geography== Ballay is located some 35 km east by south-east of Rethel and 3 km north of Vouziers. Access to the commune is by the D977 road from Vouziers which passes through the centre of the commune and the village and continues north to Quatre-Champs. The D19 road from Quatre-Champs to Vandy forms part of the northern border of the commune. Apart from the village there are the hamlets of Claire-Fontaine, Landèves, and La Noue Adam. The commune is mostly forested in the east and west with farmland down the centre.〔(Google Maps )〕 The Aisne river forms the south-western border of the commune as it flows north to eventually join the Oise at Clairoix. The ''Fournelles'' flows through the centre of the commune from the north and joins the Aisne on the south-western border. Several tributaries rise in the commune and feed the Fournelles including the ''Martignère'', the ''Ruisseau du Moulin des Bois'', and the ''Chalan'' which forms part of the southern border of the commune.〔 Clairefontaine and Landèves were municipalities in 1790 and merged into Ballay at the end of 1790. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ballay」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
