Thouars is a town in western France. It is located in the Deux-Sèvres area, which is called a department. A department is like a large region or county.
On January 1, 2019, three smaller towns joined Thouars. These towns were Mauzé-Thouarsais, Missé, and Sainte-Radegonde. This made Thouars a bigger and more important place.
