[edit] Geography

Situated 35 km from Laval, 54 km from Angers, and 70 km from Le Mans in the south-east of today's Mayenne département, Bouère historically lay within the territories of Angevin Mayenne, which formed part of Anjou.

Local quarries supplied a proportion of the marble used in the construction of the Basilica of the Sacré Cœur and Saint-Lazare railway station in Paris.
