Bouvron, Loire-Atlantique

Bouvron (French pronunciation: [buvʁɔ̃] ⓘ; Breton: Bolvronn) is a commune in the Loire-Atlantique department in western France.

Bouvron is near the following communes : Blain, Fay-de-Bretagne, Guenrouet, Savenay, Campbon and Quilly.

The commune is near the Canal de Nantes à Brest and the forest of Gâvre.

But the name Boveron or Bouveron appeared in the texts only from the 12th century onwards, whereas in one text dated 8 May 878 from the cartulary of Redon Abbey, the name Buluuron is used for the estate when it was granted to the abbey, in Redon, Ille-et-Vilaine.

An etymological study reveals that "Buluuron" is derived from the Gallic bébronnos, made up of bébros (= "beaver") and onnos (= "river").
