Thouaré-sur-Loire (, literally Thouaré on Loire; ) is a commune in the Loire-Atlantique department in western France.
==Origin of the name== The origins of Thouaré are not certain. According to certain hypotheses, the foundation of the city was due to a Roman legionnaire by the name of Taurus or Tauraicus, who had been given a rich villa in the area. Another is that it is due to a Celtic god, worshipped in this part of Gaul, by the name of Taur.
