Boreau was born in Saumur. From 1820, he began training as a pharmacist working in a pharmacy in Angers; as part of his studies, he is particularly interested in botany, following particularly  Desvaux's class (Jardin des Plantes, Angers).

He collaborated with Count Jaubert which subsidizes and dedicate a plant discovered in Central Asia, "Boreava orientalis".
