Meillonnas is pleasantly situated at the foot of Revermont on the road to Jasseron Treffort. Crossing the Sevron, the municipality includes the town and six villages: Sanciat the ISTERS the Razza, the Tupinières, Pantaglay and France.

This village look great with its beautiful stone houses sometimes timbered.

Meillonnas owes its fame to the pottery made there since 1760. This ancient fortified village is built around his castle to be transformed into a porcelain factory in 1760 for Baron Brown and his wife Anne Marie Carrelet Loisy.

Jasseron Castle: The history of Jasseron certainly begins with its destruction around 350, date attested by the discovery of coins bearing the effigy of Emperor Constant I which were undoubtedly buried there during the barbarian invasions. We deduce from this the presence of a Roman camp before these attacks, including a wooden guard tower which must have served as a base in the 11th century for the construction of what would become one of the most powerful castles in Revermont.
