Bouère (in French pronounced as /bwɛʁ/) is a commune in the Mayenne department in northwestern France.

Geography

Situated 35km (22miles) from Laval, 54km (34miles) from Angers, and 70km (40miles) from Le Mans in the southeast of today's Mayenne department, 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.
