Évron (French pronunciation: [evʁɔ̃]) is a commune in the Mayenne department in north-western France. On 1 January 2019, the former communes Châtres-la-Forêt and Saint-Christophe-du-Luat were merged into Évron.[3] Évron (pop. 8,700) is noted for the Basilica of Notre-Dame de l'Épine (12th century), formerly the church of the suppressed Évron Abbey, with 13th-century wall paintings and Aubusson tapestries. The nave and tower of the church date from the 11th century; the rest of the structure dates from the 18th century
Évron is the home to the largest Babybel Cheese factory globally and accounts for 18% of "Group Bel" global production. The plant processes 650k litres of milk a day[4] making the surrounding countryside heavily geared to milk production and the growing of winter feed for the dairy herds.
