Sévaré, a name also written without its accents, is a town in central Mali in the Mopti Region. It serves as a crossroads town of about 40,000 people, situated about 10 kilometres southeast of Mopti and 10 kilometres south of Fatoma, the old capital of Kunaari. From Sévaré the roads lead east to Bandiagara, north to Gao and Timbuktu, southwest to Segou and Bamako, and south to Burkina Faso. Mopti Airport is near the town, which lies within the boundaries of Mopti Commune. Sévaré is said to have been founded by a Fula hunter named Se Waware, and its importance began to grow with the construction of the roads and the dike to Mopti under French colonial rule.
