Bouguenais

Bouguenais ( " Bougonae" in Gallo/poitevin and " Kervegon" in modern Breton) is a common French, located in the department of Loire-Atlantique and the area Pays of the Loire.

The common belongs to the historical Brittany, in the traditional country of the Pays of Retz and in the historical country of the Nantes Pays. Bouguenais draws its name from the local lord, Bégon, count of Herbauges which had a strengthened place at the 9th century. The arrival of the Normands made that it gave up the site to take refuge a little more in the south, with Chéméré, in the forest of Prince.

Its inhabitants is called the Bouguenaisiens and the Bouguenaisiennes .

Bouguenais is a town of approximately 15  000 inhabitants located at the south of Nantes, it makes party of the Canton of Rezé. It is a city made up of two distinct parts: Bouguenais couëts and Bouguenais borough. Although these two entities form only one and single commune, it is of habit to regard them as two distinct communes.

History

( text drawn from the Book telling the history from bouguenais )

Of Prehistory to the Celts

Traces of an human activity are present on the territories of Bouguenais and Rezé, geographically indissociable, since antiquity and probably since prehistory. The history of Bouguenais crosses that of the conquest of Gaulle by the Romans.

Of the evocative place names:

Although no vestige nor monument dating from prehistory exists more in Bouguenais, one can suppose that monuments megalithic existed on the commune. Toponymy (the study of the place names) indeed gives invaluable indications on the past, even remote.

A council held in Nantes into 658 condemns survivals of the druidic culture and orders to reverse the ancient stones. The majority of these monuments were thus destroyed, under the influence of the clergy, but their memory remains in the names of the places concerned:

- The village of Pierranne is to a few hundred meters of the place says “Pierre”. This sector does not present an apparent rock but one can suppose that this place draws its name from one or more megaliths. Another assumption proposes that “Pierranne” is drawn from the dedication of the old vault of the village with Saint-Pierre and Holy-Anne, but one can as think as the church diverted with its profit an ancient crowned place. - In the same way, the vault of Bethlehem at Midsummer's Day de Boiseau was built on an old site druidic, close to a curious megalith called “Pierre insane” and to a miraculous source. By modifying the noun of origin “Bétélian”, resulting from the name of the Celtic god “Béléan”, in Bethlehem in conformity with the eucharistic rule, the christianization of the place made only prolong the existence of an already existing spiritual site. - The street of Pierre Raised, in the south of the borough, testifies to the old presence of a megalith, probably disappeared at the end of the 19th century.

Traces of the Neolithic time would have been raised with the site of the career of Pontreaux but no serious study was undertaken and the exploitation of the career destroyed the site. A certain number of objects going back to this period were also found at the time of the building work of the old powerplant of Cheviré.

Closer to us, from names of places come us from the former Celts. Let us quote, inter alia: - The word “ties” (Noë, Large Valley, etc) which applies to a wet place where water runs out badly. - Breuil, Breil, of Gallic “the broga” indicate a wooded place being used as retirement with game. - The mortar (the Mulon Mortar, the Rimbault Mortar) means muddy ground. - The douet: the place where our grandmothers washed their linen.

At times of the Roman conquest

At the time of the conquest of the Gaulle by Jules César, towards 60 before J.C., several people share the area:

  • the Namnètes occupy northern bank of the Loire, around the Condevictum village established with the confluence of the the Loire and the Erdre on a hill which dominates today the Saint-Pierre cathedral.

  • the Ambilatres, occupy current the Pays of Retz.
  • the Pictons, southernmost, whose capital is Limonum (Poitiers).

The Roman conquest is not done without evil, with into -56 the revolt of the Vénètes, a seafaring nation furrowing the Atlantic littoral since Dariarigum (Valves), then the Armorican insurrection in -52 which federates many Celtic people around Vercingétorix. On this occasion, it is probable that the Romans dismantled the territory of Ambiliates to the profit of their Pictons allies.

The history of Bouguenais is indissociable of that of Rezé, then called Ratiatum. This ancient city born 2000 years ago extends along an old arm from the Loire, Seil de Rezé, Port-with-Corn until the seminar of Couëts. Ratiatum is one of the cities born of the new administrative organization, political and economic founded by the Roman conquerors. Under the domination of Pictons, it controls the trade and the exchanges on one of banks of the Loire.

One knows few things about the organization of this city. The archaeological discoveries most significant, primarily on the territory of Rezé, updated its economic activity and harbor. The many fragments of Amphore S discovered on the site provide indications on the nature of transported freight: wines coming from Italy, of Spain, de Gaulle (Languedoc, valley of Expensive), but also of oil coming from Bétique (southern of Spain). Intended for a consumption on the spot, this trade also probably feeds the interior of Gaulle while forwarding by the Loire. Thus, near Bouguenais, the shopping street borrows from Nantes Seil while passing by Port-with-Corn, joined the center of Portus Raciacus (Rezé), crosses the brook of Jaguère to the ford of the Step of the Lamb (become the Board lmbert) then coincides roughly with the current road of Couëts with Bouguenais. On the current site of Bouvre, a point of obliged transit must be supervised by a Gallo-Roman establishment, attested by the remainders of a built pit characteristic of the Gallo-Roman time. Then the way follows the current road alignment of the Mountain starting from the center of the old borough of Saint-Pierre de Bouguenais, passes to Midsummer's Day de Boiseau and moves towards Vidua (Seen), old Oppidum Gallic, or towards Arthon or Prigny close to Moutiers.

The discovery at the 19th century of a Aqueduct then visible in edge of the Way of the Good-Sisters, at the village of Couëts, suggests the presence of a thermal building in this sector. The daily requirements out of water for the buildings for public baths indeed required the construction of important hydraulic works. In addition, this work testifies to the urban activity of the ancient district present at the village of Couëts: it undoubtedly is not of an perish-urban sector located in limit of the ancient city, but about an active district of this city. However, the elements available do not make it possible to restore the organization of this district.

Until the 5th century, christianization progresses, évêché of Nantes extending its influence to the south of the Loire, in particular by the sermons of Martin Saint in Vertou. Its passage is at the origin of vaults as with Saint-Jean-to-Bouguenais (Saint-Jean-of-Bushel) and of a hermitage on the island of Indret.

Middle Ages and Renaissance

Under the successive influences of the Carolingians and Breton princes, the South-Loire and in particular the area of Bouguenais forge a historical identity.

At the beginning of IXe century, vis-a-vis the attacks and raids Vikings, the lords of the south the Loire (Rezé, Clisson, Tiffauges, Noirmoutier, Bouin, Machecoul and Mauges) gather in County of Herbauges, in order to better fight and defend themselves against the Norman ones.

One moment under the authority of the Carolingians (Charles II the Bald person), combined Poitou, the south of the Loire passes in the middle of IXe in 851, century under the control of the princes of Brittany, following the Traité of Angers. To this time the castle goes back whose fortifications remain still partly on the Commune of Bouguenais to the locality “La Motte of Bougon”. The surrounding parish is called Bégonnais then Bouguenais.

Following successive wars, old the Marches of Brittany (Nantes and Rennes) returns to the Norman ones, against which Alain Bores-Torte engages a long battle. In 938, the Loire is taken again with Norman, becomes again Breton and the Town of Nantes, rebuilt after being destroyed, is promoted capital Duchy of Brittany which extended to the south from the Loire. To the 10th century, a family allocates the title of lord of Bougon, and this until 1294, when the name of Chasteigner in the army of the duke of Brittany appears, with Herlin de Bougon which seems to be the same character as Hubelin Chasteigner quoted like lord of Bouguenais.

At the beginning of Xle century, leprosy prevailed everywhere. The parish of Bouguenais had a leper-house located close to a vault dedicated to Holy-Madeleine and now missing. She was located, according to Leon Maître, historian of the 19th century, on the field of Baronnais and named “the field of Maladrerie”. Beside this field which borders the road of Couëts with Bouguenais (old Nantes main road of the Pilgrim), a cross was set up; she was removed to open the career of Pontreaux. The brook which ran with some steps from there and the source feeding the fountain provided to leprous the water which they needed. About 1970, there remained well a fountain in the low wall close to the road but the career having drained the ground water, the source dries up and the fountain was destroyed during work of rectification of the road of Couëts.

During centuries, Bouguenais and its surroundings will know various fortunes, consequences of the fights that will be delivered the kingdoms of France and England between them or with the duchy of Brittany. Some stakes make it possible to go up until the time of the Reform:

- In 1239, the Viscount of Rezé, created towards 995, increases by the purchase of the Mound of Bougon. It is as at that time as Templiers settle in our area: they have a house with Rezé and profit from many gifts of local lords, of which the Botty island, located opposite Bouguenais. - During the One hundred Year old War, between the kingdoms of France and England, the war of succession of Brittany makes the life of the inhabitants particularly difficult. The English unload in Brittany in 1342 and put the seat in front of Nantes. That it is during the combat or the truces, the country is systematically put out of cut regulated by the army rabble. Thus, Walter Huet, English captain, installed with the port of the Collet, close to Bourgneuf, hold to ransom all the country of Retz and in particular the parishes of Saint-Pierre de Bouguenais, Saint Jean de Bouguenais (Holy Jean de Boiseau) and Rezé. - In 1397, the duke Jean IV grants the monopoly of fishing in the Loire to the inhabitants of Bouguenais, Trentemoult and the parish of Holy Cross. - About 1460, the interminable Franco-English conflict ends, but the martyrdom of the populations does not see its term: the south of the Loire is invaded by the armed bands with the duke of Brittany and king de France whom the end of the hostilities leaves without employment. In Bouguenais and the Pilgrim, the population flees rather than to be killed.

The reform is introduced in 1558 by Andelot, brother of the admiral Coligny, and many Protestant churches are then founded. Catholics and calvinists clash quickly, but there is no massacre of the Saint Barthelemy in Nantes. Persecutions against reformed continue until the Revolution. To that are added the natural difficulties who bring in an almost regular way, every fifteen years, of the food shortages followed by terrible epidemics. The parish of Saint Pierre of Bouguenais saw primarily agricultural work of which the greatest part was devoted to the viticultural production. In the event of bad year, harvests do not nourish any more the population…

the Revolution

The commune of Bouguenais amply took its place, often in a dramatic way, in the events of the French revolution, the General states of 1789 with the Terror and the war of the Vendée.

Bouguenais the day before the Revolution:

In 1789, the commune of Bouguenais counts approximately 2800 inhabitants. The essence of the population is rural, if one excludes the sailors of Lavigne Port and some middle-class men. The nobility, very few, is in the seigniories of Bougon and Chaffault and in some other laic seigniories (Jaguère, Bénate, Huguetières…) equipped with few grounds. The clergy as for him is well represented, in particular with the convent of Couëts and the priory of Bouvre. 600 Bouguenaisiens live charity of the clergy, in particular Carmelite nuns, and the feudal system is in crisis here like everywhere in the kingdom.

The drafting of the Registers of grievances, at the request of the King and in preparation of the General states of 1789, implies in Bouguenais only few people. The book of the commune is concise and clear in the expressed claims and relates primarily to the daily life:

- End of the inequality in front of the tax. - Suppression of the rights of franc-stronghold charged on the purchase of noble grounds. - Suppression of the dîme, of the right of flee and wild rabbits (to which the owners of pigeons and rabbits are fixed respectively), of the rights of furnace and mill, the rights on the ports, the drudgeries and the quintaine (perceived on the young grooms), etc - Prohibition of the conscription of the sailors by the State out of the maritime world. - Removal of the militia and equal share between all of the warheads. - Cancellation of the sales of common moors carried out since a score of years, these grounds being for many peasants the only fodder and litter resource for the animals. - Suppression of the privileges in the use of the meadows of the valley. - Suppression of the expensive rights charged on the animals led to the fairs.

measurements of the Constituent Assembly:

In Paris, on August 4th, 1789, all the privileges are abolished and the Declaration of the Human rights and the Citizen is published on August 26th. In Bouguenais, the majority of noble and the middle-class men accept these measurements. But the clergy, which is very listened by the people and thus the peasants, there is firmly opposite. According to the Civil Constitution, indeed, the priests become civils servant of the State and évêchés do not depend any more Rome. A certain number of incidents enamel the relations between the revolutionary capacity and the clergy of Bouguenais, which refuses to lend oath and even cease to Couëts to allot usual alms to some 600 assisted commune. The situation is explosive and the execution of the King on January 21st, 1793 nothing will arrange.

insurrection:

Following the regicide, to face the coalition of the great European nations against the new Republic, Convention proceeds to a levy in masse of troops everywhere in France. In Bouguenais, this lifting proves very difficult and causes even a rising on March 10th, 1793. From now on, the municipality of Bouguenais holds its meetings in Nantes where the patriots come from all the area took refuge, while a royalist committee sets up itself at Bouguenais.

March 25th, the insurrectionists attack the arsenal of Indret protected by advanced stations of which that of the castle of With. The republican, better organized and better armed soldiers, push back the attack then make a true raid on Bouguenais. 200 insurgent is captured and carried out. The survivors gain the maquis.

In the south of the Loire is constituted then the military Vendée in which Bouguenais engages fully, even as many common neighbors. Bouguenaisiens royalists are organized with the Country of Retz behind Cathelinière, itself obeying Charrette, but remain however in margin of the Catholic and Royal Large army.

the attack of Nantes and the installation of Terror:

The town of Nantes east then in state of siege. Its defenses extend to the south until Pirmil. Bouguenais is on the road of Nantes to the arsenal of Indret, which remains strategic and defended by advanced stations in Boiseau and the castle of With.

June 27th, after an ultimatum of the royalists which Baco of the Vault will answer by “the Nantes ones will perish or freedom will triumph”, Nantes is attacked in the south by the men of Cart and in north by the Catholic and Royal Army. The latter encounters a rough resistance of the republican station of Nort-sur-Erdre, which will disorganize the attack. Although the avant-garde of the attackers arrives until the Viarme place, Cathelineau, general-in-chief royalist is mortally wounded there. The royalists ebb, the offensive is a failure. Much Bouguenaisiens took part in this battle, the volunteers not missing and having gone of their commune until Bridge-Rousseau.

The Nantes population is with end of misery, one dies of hunger and disease while the city accommodates a great number of soldiers and refugees. At this point in time Jean-Baptiste Carrier arrives. “Missionary of Terror” according to Jules Michelet, charged to put an end to the revolt by the all means, especially most extreme. Carrier makes summarily carry out several thousands of people, among whom some bouguenaisiens, by the guillotine and the drowning in the Loire (according to the method of the “republican marriages”). Its extremism and its madness will not be long in being noticed in Paris where it will be pointed out then condemned to died and guillotine in 1794, liquidated by the thermidoriens with which he will however have caused the fall of Robespierre.

the devastated borough, a war which does not finish any:

While Terror breaks out in Nantes, the war does not weaken in the South of the Loire. The republican military camps of Naudières and the castle of With undergo several attacks in which many bouguenaisiens takes part. The communications by road between Nantes and Indret are impossible differently than with an important escort armed, without that not preventing the attacks and, in answer, the bloody reprisals. Thus, on March 31st, 1794, a raid on the commune of Bouguenais leads to the arrest of almost 300 men, taken along to the castle of To be judged by a military commission there. 292 are condemned to died and are carried out. In the two weeks which follow, other Bouguenaisiens will join them. Of all the communes of the south of the Loire-Inférieure, Bouguenais is by far that which paid the heaviest tribute with the civil war. To the 231 condemned by the courts and carried out, one must add those which were cut down summarily or which disappeared in the storm. The living conditions are terrible: in addition to undergoing plunderings and the famine, more half of the inhabitants sleeps on the straw.

The end of the war of the Vendée in 1796 brings a pretense of peace. The administration of the communes of Rezé and Bouguenais reorganizes in April 1796 in a single cantonal structure located at Couets, under the authority of François Bertrand, elected cantonal mayor. The coup d'etat of the 18 fructidor of the year V (September 4th, 1797) locally involves the deposition of Bertrand and the return of men more engaged in the Revolution. Pierre-François Huard, of Bridge-Rousseau, mayor of Rezé before 1793, becomes president of the cantonal administration. The climate is tended, even if there are no catches of weapons and in spite of the latent rearmament of the peasants. At the end of 1798, of the armed gatherings are announced to Bougon and Morandière but remain limited. This situation of larval civil war will last all the year 1799. The coup d'etat of the 18 Brumaire (November 9th, 1799) of Bonaparte and measurements taken will put an end to these disorders.

Bonaparte will be soon Napoleon and will rejoin the mass of the French behind him. But during all the 19th century, Bouguenais will mark its attachment with traditional monarchy in opposition with the common neighbors where Orléanistes and Bonapartistes will be able to be made hear.

the Blazon of the commune

Bouguenais has a blazon since the end of 1964, resulting from the old story and recent of the commune.

In 1964 the first municipal bulletin appeared. Mr Robichon, then Mayor, seize the occasion to inform his fellow-citizens of the birth of this badge intended to represent the commune: “I will not learn, of course, with anybody that almost all our communes of France have their blazon, or their escutcheon, it the expression does not matter, and that the Municipal council, after having taken contact with the Nantes heraldic services, had decided, in its deliberation of July 5th, 1958, to recreate the armorial bearings of our Bouguenais. The obviousness even wanted that according to our past, we begin again arm with the old seigniory of Bougon since this one was at the origin of our commune and that, from the point of view more turned towards the future, we add on the basis of this same ground of Bougon, which gave rise to our aerodrome, the crowned sign of the wings of aviation, the framing ourselves whole, as it should be, by an image of the vineyards more than secular of our soil. It is besides around this sign of the wings that quite naturally, the currency " was selected; AD Alta" , i.e. " towards the hauteurs" symbolizing consequently, the dash, generosity, the vigorous energy, like one says on our premises, of those which want to be to remain with the service of the city…”

It was chosen, not without some disputes, to take again the weapons of Jean Fournier, rider-sieur of Pinsonnière and Bougon, knight of Saint-Michel, director and professor in right to the university, to advise with the old présidial, death on December 14th, 1678, of which here heraldic description:

- Mouths with the notched gold band accompanied by two serrated rollers of of the same spur (recording of Hozur 1696 - Brittany vol. 1 - p. 64, § 195).

- The stamped ecu of the crown aviable of gold and money of the air bases cities and airports, charged with two mouchetures of sand hermine.

- The ecu supported by a vine stock to two broken into leaf, fruity money vine shoots each of three bunches of gold and retaining at a peak by its gimlets a listel of gold in charge of the currency in Roman sand capital letters “AD Alta”.

- The choice, more recent, of the wings and the vine, explained higher by Mr Robichon, was worth to him a discussion with the heraldist Gilles de Maupéou which had found the image innovative of the wings of a little modern Bougon and the bunches of grapes rather heavy. However, the project was adopted.

historical Evolution of the landscape

The current landscape of Bouguenais, in particular in north and the east, on banks of the Loire, is very different from what it was before the 19th century. The successive modifications of the bed of the Loire deeply transformed it and with him, the economy of the commune.

Until half of the 18th century, the Loire with the accesses of Bouguenais was much broader than today and counted several small islands: Mandineau, Rangeot, Botty, Cheviré, Trentemoult… An intense batelière activity fed the ports of Bouguenais by the southern arm of the river formed by these islands.

The highway network was very summary, especially made up of road-metal and dirt tracks between the isolated borough and hamlets, often impracticable in winter. The main part of the communications were thus done by the river and the rivers. The carters served only the zones nonaccessible by boat.

The part of the river located between the islands and the slope was called “the small river”. Bouguenais counted two principal ports: Rock additional Ballue and Port Lavigne, and two holds, Bouguenais and Couëts. This way was used for the trade and the exchange of regional products: the salt of bay of Bourgneuf, bricks of Bald person, wine, the fodder and cattle of the meadows of Buzay, newcomer of the Country of Retz, and construction materials, micaceous chalks, wood and lime of Montjean, coming from Maine and the Loire. The Ballue Rock had a customs house, for the control of the goods, and more than 5000 boats forwarded each year by this way, without counting the passenger transport by coastal traffic of the Pilgrim in Nantes. Although the tides make it difficult, this means of circulation was fastest. But the whims of the river and the obstacles which it presented also made navigation dangerous, as the accident testifies some of April 25th, 1698 which sent by the bottom a boat of coastal traffic with almost all its passengers close to Lavigne Port.

In spite of these disadvantages, Port Lavigne was excellent roads of damping for the sailing ships and galleons which could not reach Nantes before the inversion of the current. Because of the great risings which flooded the zone regularly, the many houses located along the slope, which sheltered in particular the employees with the maritime functions, were elevated. Their inhabitants took the practice to assemble their furniture and of living on the floor each year in October and for a few weeks. Broader than today but not very deep, the river could grow bigger quickly, supplied with the snow melt, the abundant rains and the large tides. Water thus recovered the islands and the roadway on more than two meters. The important traders had made build rich person residences higher on the slope. Many fishermen also lived the slope, fishing with salmon, alose, lamprey, folds, eel and mule being flourishing.

The progressive stranding of the river at the 18th century however prevented the heavy tradind ships from going up to the port of the Pit in Nantes and the goods were to be discharged in roads from Paimbœuf to be conveyed by gabarres or gabarots. The competition of Lorient was done increasing and the prosperity of the wearing of Nantes was thus threatened. Engineer Mangin proposed into 1749 to narrow the bed of the Loire to amplify the current by it and, by the play of the tides, to evacuate sand and the mud of it. By attaching to the slope the islands located at the south of the river, this project condemned the activity of the marine of Bouguenais and the common neighbors. This installation was not done without reserves on behalf of the notable ones of Bouguenais nor of the farmers and herbagers which had difficulties in carry out their animals grazes about it on the islands from now on dedicated to agricultural plantations. The fishermen, washerwomen, plowmen and producers of flax had also to complain about this work. One thus condemned to nothing good number of professions. With the revolution, the landscape had thus been modified in-depth and the maritime life died out, only some fishermen continuing this activity with the Lavigne Port and Couëts.

In 1869, the tonnage of the ships increased again and the principal channel posed problems. One waited until 1903 to carry out dredgings and new dammings up condemned this time the étiers and the port of Couëts. The last maritime professions disappeared little by little, just as the zones of reproductions for game and fish. On the southern slope, the river did not exist any more. An immense green meadow was used as pasture with the bovines of the Area. The snap rings and the wicker had disappeared, some reeds remaining, only vestiges of last time. At the beginning of the 20th century Bouguenais carried out its reconversion in the industrial era.
